there's the well-informed, the battle-tested, the diligent senator who does her homework

Really? Could we have some evidence of this?

Battle-tested? Battle-ax maybe, but battle-tested? What battles has she fought. I'm serious! Has she fought any? (BTW, ambushes are not battles IMHO.)

Homework? Could anyone really be impressed by someone who knows the answers to questions she planted a few hours earlier. I'm more impressed by an actress who can remember an entire script she has to perform, but that hardly qualifies the actress to be President of the United States. Hillary has to remember a few sound-bites. And anytime there's a glitch in her script, it's a schadenfreude moment for folks like me.

I agree she won her first election with 55% of the vote and the second with 67%. She is not battle tested she is just running in a extremely liberal state.

She is forgetting that she is not supposed to actually BE battle-tested through her husband's scandals! The general public is supposed to ASSUME she was in the private quarters of the White House wringing her hands and crying during each of them. The truth was that she caused 90% of the scandals herself and probably led the coverup and the mafia-style silencing of all of the threats afterward.

So she really is battle-tested. She nearly got caught a thousand times breaking every kind of law we have. BUT SHE IS STILL ABLE TO RUN AS A FRONTRUNNER FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. That's battle-tested. Just ask Pellicano, Vince, McDougal, Willey, Broadderick, etc.
