Related: About this forumDid HRC call herself a progressive in 2008 or in her senate campaigns?
I have tried unsuccessfully to find an instance of Hillary saying that she is a progressive BEFORE Bernie announced his candidacy. I would be very happy if anyone can provide a link showing that I am wrong.

& she shook her head no, saying she was a "progressive".
I suppose "progressive" is appropriate in the sense that she's moving more & more to the right.
On edit, this interview was well after Bernie had entered the race, so it's not what you were looking for -- sorry.

Obama basically didn't deny the assertion and still got applause.
