Daily Kos :: Comments The (triumphant?) return of the Cattle Call

I really have a hard time undestanding (0+ / 0-)

this "STOP Hillary campaign". I can understand why people would prefer another candidate or candidates over her. I can also understand how the conservatives and republicans want to stop her.
But why is such a progressive site as dkos so anti the candidate with the most progressive congressional voting record?

  - Thanks for that info. But does the National (0+ / 0-)
    
    Journal rate them based on their lifetime voting records in Congress, or is that the editorial board's impression of her present positions?
    I do recognize that Hillary is running her campaign to the moderates. She's trying not to be perceived as too liberal for the general election.

      ...are from key roll call votes in 2006. Their scores from 2005 are behind a subscriber wall, so I don't know her lifetime rating. I guess the way that I look at this is that even if Hillary rated as more a liberal in the past, that means she has now tacted rightward, which I don't see as a good thing.

  but often just for show.
  
  Hillary defends the corporate-lobbyist corruption that is preventing REAL change on progressive issues.
