Hillary says abortion should be rare. That makes her a centrist.
But she votes like a liberal. She voted for partial birth abortion, she is against parental notification, she is for using taxpayer money to fund abortions overseas overturning the mexican policy.
When it comes to the media it doesn't matter that Hillary's policy is still radical left wing it is that she triangulates her words to make her appear centrist.
If you check out ACU ratings they have all the major votes from the last year, there is not one vote where hillary defected from the ted kennedy and kerry liberal bloc.
Liberals love to call themselves centrists. Same people that call Hillary a centrist call David Souter a centrist.
