At the Senate level, it is certainly ''possible'' for an unelected candidate to clear GNG on the basis of receiving substantially more and wider and deeper coverage than most other unelected candidates — it's certainly at least ''somewhat'' more likely to happen for a Senate candidate than it is for a House candidate or a state legislature candidate, but it's still by no means whatsoever ''guaranteed'' to happen for ''every'' Senate candidate. (And further, Senate candidates are also significantly more likely, though still by no means guaranteed, to already have enough preexisting notability for other reasons to have qualified for an article on those grounds ''anyway'', such as having already served in another NPOL-passing political role ''prior'' to running for the Senate — so pointing out other examples of Senate candidates who got articles despite losing isn't determinative.) So being a Senate candidate is ''not'' an automatic inclusion freebie in and of itself, and it certainly hasn't been demonstrated here that she's already earned special case status. Even if we take YankeesFan's Israeli news stories as getting her out of the ''starting'' blocks toward being more notable than the norm, as it stands they're just  for a single campaign comment, so they don't get her to the ''finish'' line all by themselves. Over the course of the election campaign, at least half to two-thirds of all candidates nationwide will be able to show ''something'' "out of the ordinary", such as getting namechecked in a "ten races to watch" listicle on CNN or Politico or making a five-minute appearance on ''Anderson Cooper 360'' — so it still takes ''more'' than just ''one'' "out of the ordinary" thing to make a candidate more notable than the norm. There has to be a ''substantial'' body of "out of the ordinary" coverage, not just one or two hits, to make a candidate a special case. If a candidate didn't already have preexisting notability for other reasons besides being a candidate, then she does ''not'' instantly clear the bar just because she made one comment that got her a blip of BLP1E coverage in Israel — her international coverage would have to explode to Christine O'Donnell proportions before it clinched permanent |ten-year test-passing notability in and of itself
