This morning I was listening to C-SPAN and heard a fellow talking about Hillary. He said that it is now evident that we didn't really know who Hillary was. It appears that she is less of a revolutionary and more of a mid west Conservative.
He also said that a liberal magazine, I don't remember which one, has written an article about how boring she really is.
It appears that the Liberal Democrats are distancing themselves from her as she moves over toward the center.
I can't help but think that THE Q was prescient, as usual.
The following is an article from the NY Post.

HILLARY WATCH
Wednesday,March 28,2001

Holy Hill! Now she's praying with GOP
OVER cornflakes, coffee and the Bible, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is quietly praying her way into the company of some of the Senate's conservative members.
Clinton has joined an informal, once-a-week Senate prayer breakfast, an event dominated by deeply religious Republican senators - the same type who in 1998 were disgusted by the Sexgate scandal, The Post has learned.
But senators who gather for the unpublicized prayer sessions say coming together over religion erases party labels.
"It improves the tone between all the senators," explained Sen. Conrad Burns, a Montana Republican.
"We get to know one another in a way that doesn't happen in there," Burns added, nodding toward the Senate floor.
Burns, an auctioneer and cowboy, declined to talk about Clinton, but said she is welcome.
"We told her it's a campus activity," joked Burns.
Most senators don't like to discuss the prayer meetings, which take place every Wednesday morning over breakfast and are tucked away in a quiet room in the Capitol.
When asked by The Post about the gatherings, Clinton said through an aide she considered it a private matter, a feeling shared by her colleagues.
"You gotta have some things that are private. This is one," explained Sen. Don Nickles (R-Okla.), who attends but declined further comment.
Other regular Republicans include Sens. George Allen of Virginia, Kit Bond of Missouri, Jim Bunning of Kentucky, James Inhofe of Oklahoma and Jon Kyl of Arizona.
One Democrat in the prayer group is Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina, who, like Clinton was a political rookie until his Senate election.
The Senate chaplain, Lloyd Ogilive, also would not talk about Clinton's participation, but said all senators are encouraged "to tell their friends how God influences them and to describe their own personnel spiritual journey."
As one of the Senate's more liberal Democratic members sharing stories of God with GOP company, Clinton's participation marks the latest evolution of her Methodist faith.
Raised in a Chicago suburb, Clinton's mother taught Sunday school; her father said nightly prayers on his knees. Clinton's daughter, Chelsea, was confirmed as a Methodist when she was 12.

Clinton is returning to the place where her life took that fateful turn: Yale University, where as a law student in 1971 she met her future husband, Bill Clinton.
Clinton will deliver an address at Yale on May 20, and is expected to face protests from campus Republicans.
Hillary also will give commencement addresses at SUNY-Delhi and at York College in Queens.

Over the weekend, Clinton skipped the annual Gridiron Dinner, a satirical show put on by reporters, where her White House departure - and the gifts both Clintons grabbed - came in for heavy-duty mockery.
One skit featured a Clinton look-alike singing - to the tune of "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" - things like "make your checks payable to cash" and "people say we stole the store."
