Hillary Clinton Hears the Boos at the Daily Koz Convention
At the left wing, radical, out of touch with reality Daily Koz convention Hillary Clinton was not always received fondly.
“A lot of those lobbyists, whether you like it or not, represent real Americans, they actually do,” Clinton said, drawing boos and hisses from liberal bloggers at the second Yearly Kos convention.
She refused to stop taking money from lobbyists and tried to spin it into a positive for her. Apparently, it didn’t work. These people have their narrow minded vision and will take no opposing view seriously.
Edwards pounced on this opportunity.
“We don’t want to trade their insiders for ours,” said the former North Carolina senator.
Clinton responded.
Nonetheless, the bloggers booed and hissed when Clinton insisted a moment later that nobody would believe that she could be influenced by lobbyists’ money. So would she continue to accept those donations?
“Yes, I will,” she said, arguing that plenty of lobbyists represent good causes. “They represent nurses, they represent social workers, they represent, yes, they represent corporations that employ a lot of people.”
So how could this affect Hillary?
“We may decide she’s not our first choice, but she’s not a bad choice,” he said.
When Hillary Clinton isn’t far enough to the left to be the Daily Koz’s first choice it is a scary proposition as to what the Democrat nominee will look like in 2008 elections.
