Hillary and her nuanced moderation
Good morning! With a top of the hat to Tim Graham at NewsBusters.org, here is a WashPost piece (Balz), on page A1, headlined: Clinton Is A Politician Not Easily Defined. Not a liberal? The sub-head reads: ” Senator’s Platform Remains Unclear.”
Nuance. Though the WashPost doesn’t use the word in this piece ,it’s a buzzword popular with a lot of people who don’t know what it means.
Clinton’s roles as senator, first lady, governor’s wife, lawyer and children’s advocate have given her a depth of experience that few national politicians can match, but she is still trying to demonstrate whether these yielded a coherent governing philosophy. For now, she is defined by a combination of celebrity and caution that strategists say leaves her more vulnerable than most politicians to charges that she is motivated more by personal ambition and tactical maneuver than by a clear philosophy.
Hillary’s 2008 Campaign Team, which does exist, is trying to shift focus from her liberalism to a newly invented moderate-nuanced persona, and it is awfully sweet of the WashPost to help her out. It lacks credibility, but that’s not always the Post’s strong suit.
