“Centrist” Hillary disturbing the left?

Doug at Stones Cry Out points to this article describing Hillary Clinton as under attack for moving into her “centrist” mode. He notes that the Kossacks and Moveon.org people are not actually the majority within the Democrat party, but they are the noisiest.

He also writes, and I agree, that Hillary’s big “move” is nothing but posturing. As is, I believe, all this angst from the far-left. Complain all they want, they’ll vote for her in ’08, without even thinking about it, because they know she’s playing a game. They’re playing along, actually, and helping her to look “more” centrist with their rants. They’re sort of handing her a “Sistah Souljah Moment.” Since they are not in the majority, they are also expendable. If only 1/2 of the howling left votes for her, but she convinces others that she really is “moderate,” she can win without them.

Doug concludes that – as ever – there is not much substance to anything Hillary is saying. It’s all just words. Mickey Kaus calls the Democrats and the press “cheap dates,” meaning Hillary has to do very little to get them to put out for her.

Everyone sees it all so clearly…and yet somehow, she keeps on truckin’.

As I have said before, the scariest thing about Hillary is not Hillary. It’s the obsequious press, trailing behind her, eyes glazed over in slack-jawed adoration. Enormous ambition served by an unquestioning press? Scary as all get-out.
