The word "If"
Hi, Does I need to see the phrase "As was her status as the heir apparent" like was before it the word "If" ?
I hope you got my point ... because it seems that that was something that she wasn't "heir apparent" right?
"Although Clinton hadn’t yet formally declared her intention to enter the race,
in political circles it was seen as a foregone conclusion, (If) as was her status as the heir apparent,
the prohibitive front-runner-in-waiting. And that was making many Democrats distinctly nervous in the
summer of 2006."
