We all know how well that worked out for him. Hillary's intellect far exceeds that of most of her contenders, and she doesn't faint at tough questions or even vicious insults. Far from it. She just methodically and brilliantly lays out her counter arguments.

Clinton showed competence in defeating Lazio. She did better than Coakley, for example. But that is far from the brilliance attributed to her in the OP.
