that HRC is center-left. I voted for Obama knowing full well he was closer to the center than a lefty like me would be - he was our nominee, and no one who matched my positions ideologically was running against McCain and Romney. The furthest left we ever had was Kerry.

Who, exactly, is being 'fooled' as these posts claim?

Perhaps people post like that as a form of self-glorification? Makes them feel smarter than all those 'other' Dems?
