Colleen DiPirro, president of the Amherst Chamber of Commerce (news - web sites), told WBEN-AM radio that Clinton told the crowd she was feeling weak and had had a stomach virus. Clinton started to speak then collapsed, DiPirro told the radio station.
Clinton, 57, was treated by an emergency crew at the scene and declined to be taken to a hospital, the radio station said.
She was scheduled to speak later Monday at a Catholic college about health care. Several hundred people were waiting to hear that address. There were also hundreds of anti-abortion protesters waiting at the college.
Clinton's 58-year-old husband underwent quadruple bypass surgery in September.
So, she got the vapors and it was national news?
