"I am, you know, adamantly against illegal immigrants."
Who recently blurted that out?
Pat Buchanan? Congressman Tom Tancredo? Nope, it was Hillary Clinton.
Which Democratic senator has expressed little public remorse in voting for 23 counts to authorize war against Iraq, and has scoffed, "Saddam Hussein had been a real problem for the international community for more than a decade"?
Yep, Clinton again.
And who frowned on frequent abortion, hoping that it "does not ever have to be exercised or only in very rare circumstances"?
Need I even answer that?... .....We can already gauge the success of Hillary Clinton's new odyssey in a variety of ways. For starters, out-of-touch Democrats on the left are already worried how far she will stray.
But Republicans are even more fidgety that she is not just moving laterally in the views she expresses, but up in the polls as well. Like frozen observers watching a train wreck in progress, conservatives are sweating that a winking Hillary might just get elected and then unveil her true liberal agenda.
Fewer on the right are now saying that Rudy Giuliani is too liberal a Republican to be the party's presidential nominee; instead many are suggesting he's perhaps the only candidate who can derail her.
What a strange metamorphosis we are witnessing — a candidate still in the veiled chrysalis stage, whose supporters fear that the eventual new creature may emerge as a centrist butterfly, while detractors are even more convinced that she will turn out to be a liberal moth.
