Clinton is NOT progressive.
Sen. Clinton's discussion of the difference between liberal and progressive was not "eloquent and concise." It was tortured and wrong. For the best, brief evidence that Clinton is nowhere near what turn-of-the-century progressives stood for, see the first paragraph of another Salon story today, the one on the new Feingold bio. A true "modern progressive" would push campaign finance reform, ethics in government, and voting reform though the heavens fall. These are hardly central tenets of the Clinton campaign, to say the least.
