You know a Democratic frontrunner for the White House is feeling comfortable when defending lobbyists and corporations seems like the right thing to do.
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton was definitely not playing to the crowd of liberal bloggers on Saturday when she refused to join her rivals in a round of lobbyist bashing. “A lot of those lobbyists, whether you like it or not, represent real Americans,” she said, talking over audible gripes from the audience. “They actually do. They represent nurses. They represent, you know, social workers.”
Someone shouted “and corporations too,” but Clinton did not back down. “Yes, they represent corporations. They employ a lot of people.” By not pandering to anti-corporate sentiment in her party, Clinton once again showed how determinedly she is protecting herself for a race against the Republicans. And it is such disagreements with party activists that ironically could convince them that she is the most electable of their choices.
