I can't say one way or another whether you're right about Hillary's position on the political spectrum. What's for sure is the she and Bill are consummate political professionals, which means you can count on them to adjust their positions as necessary.
You're describing business as usual, in which only the machines of the candidates and party have any say in the matter. I see that changing because of a groundswell of grassroots dissatisfaction with the machines, and I'd predict that the Democrat who makes it through the primaries will be the one who best harnesses that dissatisfaction. Wimpy psuedo-conservative positions won't cut it in that environment, which is why I see the forces lining up to push the Democrats to take a definite and visibly Liberal stand.
