EXAMPLES of Hillary's shifting strategies and positions

Just wanted to point out some changes:

From "classy":

to "tough guy":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9CRgFO2mnM

From not caring about any states after Super Tuesday (Feb. 5th):

SENATOR HILLARY CLINTON: A much less compressed environment. So from my perspective, you get up every day and you get out there and you make your case and you reach as many people as possible. That's what I intend to do, so I'm in it for the long run. It's not a very long run. It'll be over by February 5th.”

http://baltimorechronicle.com/2008/010308Burns.shtml

and from knowing MI won't count:

NHPR's Laura Knoy: "So, if you value the DNC calendar, why not just pull out of Michigan? Why not just say, Hey Michigan, I'm off the ballot?"

Hillary Clinton: "Well, you know, It's clear, this election they're having is not going to count for anything."

http://www.jabberwonk.com/flinker.cfm?cliid=zydzt

to wanting EVERY state (except caucuses, of course) to count:

"But millions of people in Florida and Michigan who went to the polls aren't being heard. The delegates they elected won't be seated at the Democratic National Convention in Denver this August -- and that's just not fair to those voters."

From accusing everyone of ganging up on her:

"The Politics of Pile On"

to accusing another of whining:

"Today, Clinton said that if Obama thinks the debate was tough, it pales in comparison to the pressures a president faces.

She told voters in suburban Philadelphia she's "with Harry Truman on this." She said, "If you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen."

From calling Obama "naive" for his position on striking al Qaeda within Pakistan:

"In one of the earliest debates, Hillary Clinton slammed Obama about being 'naive' when he stated that Pakistan was where we really needed to focus our anti-terrorism efforts."

http://www.barackoblogger.com/2007/11/obama-right-about-pakistan.html

to having the SAME position:

"Clinton said in a radio interview later in the day that she also would not hesitate to attack Al Qaeda targets on Pakistani territory."

And we all know about Hillary's stated willingness to "obliterate" Iran after saying earlier that a president should NOT telegraph what they would do re: foreign policy.
