Did HRC call herself a progressive in 2008 or in her senate campaigns?

I have tried unsuccessfully to find an instance of Hillary saying that she is a progressive BEFORE Bernie announced his candidacy. I would be very happy if anyone can provide a link showing that I am wrong.

1. I saw an interviewer on tv ask her if she was a liberal

& she shook her head no, saying she was a "progressive".

I suppose "progressive" is appropriate in the sense that she's moving more & more to the right.

On edit, this interview was well after Bernie had entered the race, so it's not what you were looking for -- sorry.

2. YouTube Debate: Hillary - Are You a Liberal?

Uploaded on Jul 23, 2007
On July 23, 2007, CNN and YouTube partnered to sponsor the first Democratic primary debate of the 2008 election cycle. Questions were asked by citizens from around the country by uploading personal videos to the YouTube website.

4. That's a frustrating video if you think of the answers critically.

Obama basically didn't deny the assertion and still got applause.

3. I'm willing to bet if she gets the nomination, she won't use it for another 4 years... nt

5. She has called herself a progressive in this campaign cycle.

Last year as a matter of fact.
