She only moved to the left of center on some issues in the last 3 or 4 months in order to make an attempt to sway some people to vote for her, who otherwise would wind up voting for Bernie.
It's an old, rather obvious, silly political game most of the Democrats have played for the last 30 years -- talk and act as liberal as they can in order to garner as many of the votes from Democrats they can get in order to win the primaries -- and then walk back toward the center to appeal to some of the moderates in this country to attempt to win the General Election, hoping they won't lose the vote of the alienated Democrats that voted for them in the primaries, by constantly using the "lesser of two evils" argument.
Once the primaries are over, she intends to move back towards the center on many of these same issues, and maybe she will even go clear to the center right on some issues, in order for her to go head-to-head with whoever the Republican candidate will be in the General Election.
The problem is . . . and it is clear to anyone that has paid any attention to her voting record . . . she has never voted from the left.
Most of her votes were either mediocre, down the middle, centrist votes, or to the center right.
She didn't have much of a challenge in 2006 when she ran for re-election for the Senate, so she no longer needed to pretend to be liberal.
She just had to defend her mediocre, middle-of-the-road voting record against a foaming-at-the-mouth Republican.
She spent 6 times more money on the race than the Republican did in order to get re-elected, spending a little more than $33 million to keep her seat in the Senate.
That's a lot of money to spend for a Senate campaign, but she wanted to be in the Senate when she ran for President 2 years later in 2008.
Her plan was going along pretty good, that is, until Obama started his campaign for President just 3 months after getting in to the Senate in 2007.
It's just not in the stars for her to be the President of the United States.
She should have learned her lesson in 2008.
