She has the lowest national profile of any. Have no idea what she's like as a stump speaker or on television.

Seems good on the issues, but it's weird that her big national issue would be restricting web streaming.

The question her supporters need to answer is this: what is it about her that would outweigh the fact that we'd have to work harder to establish her as a national political presence than any of the others in the poll?
