But we should have learned a valuable lesson from Candidate Obama vs. President Obama: Democratic politicians play the liberal savior while on the campaign trail, but once in office they veer strongly to the right.

I don't see much in Hillary's track record to suggest that she will govern from a "true liberal" position. I expect she is doing what Obama did - managing the perception from her base in order to shore up support.
