Their "views" are whatever the exigencies of the moment require. HRC supported NAFTA in the WH in '93, she opposed it in OH in '08, and she publicly blasted Obama for citing this obvious inconsistency.
Obama's big difficulty in this campaign is that he has a fixed set of views that he may tweak to meet the circumstances of the moment. Team Clinton has a fairly limited set of views that can generally be overhauled at a moment's notice. That ability has been a key to their political success over the years.
Some men see things as they are and ask why. I see things that never were and ask why not?

The same way Barack Obama wanted to help John Kerry in 2004 by saying that he didn't know how he would have voted in 2002 on the IWR. Nobody believes that.
