Didn't the American people elect her to the US senate a while ago? I don't follow American news very well from here. I thought she got elected to some such position by New Yorkers. I don't normally associate NY with particularly flaky politicians (Massachusetts and even California, yes) but I suppose anyone can have an off day. Maybe New York is not so sane after all. At any rate, it would seem that not quite ALL Americans have had enough of the Clintons.
All the same, you are likely right in saying that if you mean that she could not really win a national election. I doubt she could even win the Dem. primary (if she were to run). I doubt Gore will either.
