Newt Gingrich: I have watched Sen. Hillary Clinton now for a year be gradually pulled to the left. Her husband was too clever to do that.

Scott Freeman at Creative Loafing pointed out the following comments Newt Gingrich made about Sen. Hillary Clinton in the National Journal:

She is actually much more centrist than MoveOn.org. She is much tougher on military affairs than [her party's] Left. She is more rational, and I have very great respect for her as a hardworking professional. No Republican should think she is going to be easy to beat. But I have watched her now for a year be gradually pulled to the left. Her husband was too clever to do that.
