I have seen no such progressive inclinations from her in the last 10 years, since she became a player. Yeah, she voted consistently with the party when the party voted left on social issues, but that's not exactly a hallmark of a progressive leader.

Contrast with Al Gore, who is much *more* progressive today than he was back in 2000.
