It's plain to see that on this issue and several others, Sen. Clinton is moderating her rhetoric so that over time she will hopes to be viewed as a moderate, mainstream Democrat.
Time will tell if her beliefs are changing or only her words. She wants to run in 2008 and she knows she has no chance of winning if she's seen as a left wing candidate, which is clearlyher history and legacy. Meanwhile, Republicans and conservatives will try to paint her bright blue.
"Several women in the audience reacted positively to Mrs. Clinton, whose remarks were interrupted by applause several times and ended with a standing ovation. But they also said her language and themes seemed politically calculated to deal with the abortion 'freak-out' among Democrats, as one audience member put it, and reach out to independent and conservative voters in hopes of broadening her base of support for a possible 2008 presidential run."
