This article is a total fucking joke. The NYT chides Clinton for running a campaign modeled on Obama's since it is not centrist enough. Don't they understand that if elected, she will be as centrist as Obama or her husband? That's what the Democrats are all about, sound somewhat like FDR but govern like Herbert Hoover.

Mrs. Clinton’s aides say it is the only way to win in an era of heightened polarization, when a declining pool of voters is truly up for grabs.
