I have personally known Hillary Rodngham (now Clinton) since 1970 when we worked in Joe Lieberman’s first political campaign, a primary election to unseat State Senator Edward Marcus in New Haven.
She held Liberal beliefs at that time and still does. The fact is that what is considered ‘Liberal’ has shifted over time. I remember when there were loads of Liberal Republicans, men such as Nelson Rockefeller, John V. Lindsay, US Senator from CT, Prescott Bush (father and grandfather of Presidents Bush). But times change and the definition has also changed. The Liberal of my youth is not a centrist or just right of center in the Democratic Party.
