Update 2: WaPo picks up on the DLC friends from Daily Kos, Atrios, David Sirota (who argues correctly that Democrats have consistently given more material support to the military while the GOP gives mostly lip service, Ronald Reagan excepted -- something Democrats ought to publicize more) and other liberal denizens of the blogosphere. (Blogger Digby really goes off, but most are attacking not Hillary, but DLCer Will Marshall, who's latest criticisms of the left really igged the faithful...)
Trouble is, Hillary is following the well-worn path set by her political star husband, Bill Clinton. The Clinton DLC, and tacking to the center, particularly on military and social issues, is how the Democrats can win national elections. The left will not stay home. They want the White House back too badly. Hillary isn't running for Chelsea (the neighborhood, not the daughter) she's running for Denver, Tampa and Tempe.
Original post, 7/26 10:10 a.m.: She's now officially DLC, tapped to "direct a new initiative to define a party agenda for the 2006 and 2008 elections." I would be shocked if she didn't vote for Roberts, given her repositioning, and she has already staked out firmly centrist positions on Iraq, abortion and gay marriage...
