but really, the Walmart thing is really stretching. Twenty years ago Walmart was not what it is today.
She used her relationship with Walton to get things done for her governor husband... good things.

I am going to quote an article:

Bob Ortega, author of ''In Sam We Trust," a history of Wal-Mart, said Clinton used her position to urge the company to improve its gender and racial diversity. Because of Clinton's prodding, Walton agreed to hire an outside firm to track the company's progress in hiring women and minorities, Ortega said.

Clinton proved to be such a thorn in Walton's side that at Wal-Mart's annual meeting in 1987, when shareholders challenged Walton on the company's lack of female managers, he assured them the record was improving ''now that we have a strong-willed young lady on the board."

Clinton was particularly vocal on environmental matters, pressing the company to boost its sale and use of recycled materials and other ''green" products.

The above is from a favorite left-leaning site, Common Dreams: http://www.commondreams.org/headlines06/0312-01.htm

A lot of us have problems with someone attracting so many billionaires to her cause. As for being a burr under the Walton saddle, she was showing them how to increase sales to people who didn't usually shop there. Alice Walton has endorsed her run for the presidency in 2016.

I will not be supporting Mrs. Clinton in the primaries.

I will vote for whatever conservative stiff the party gives us. I just hope it's not Clinton.

I wish an innaccessible dream where Nancy Pelosi could be the next nomineee. Or Barbara Boxer, even more!

much on ads.

Now you are pushing a Democrat with an "A" rating from the NRA.


This just gets better.

Whoever the nominee is, you're sure to attack them as a "corporatist" so as to assist the Republicans.

and there is no more DLC. Don't get me wrong, those types are still dominant in the dem party, but the DLC itself is no longer.

What about Md Gov Martin O'Malley? He's a much better pick.

As Montana's governor, Schweitzer stymied Montana's Republican-led legislature completely, opposed the overturning of Montana's century-old campaign finance law by out-of-state corporate groups, and is a strong advocate for single-payer health care, among other things. He is a midwestern conservative when it comes to gun issues (how could a Montana politician not be?), but he's not in the NRA's back pocket. His economic policies are precisely what this nation needs right now.

on a liberal policy he supports.

Removal, Offshore drilling.........

'Sounds more like he's got a seat reserved in the Republican Clown Car!

Schweitzer's positions:

holding him up as the true progressive candidate is a bit loopy.

I'm glad there are other choices.

However, I know DU is anxiously awaiting the day that I do.

the coal to oil guy is a better alternative for Progressives. He'd probably be great for that tiny minority of progressives who don't believe the scientists about climate change.
Use more coal Schweitzer is a Progressive?
