No one "earns" a senate seat. Clinton crushed Rick Lazio in 2000 and surpassed that in 2006 when she got 67% of the vote against someone nmed John Spencer.
I voted for her both times.
The issue isn't Clinton v. Lazio, the point is that she openly carpetbagged the state of NY. She would never have won a seat in Arkansas. I also have a difficult time believing that she was Obama's independent choice for Secretary of State. As close to a Manchurian candidate that we'll ever encounter. This was Hitchens' point; the inordinant preoccupation with providing this person an office commensurate with her highly exaggerated sense of self worth is mind boggling.
