For someone who's not running for the White House, Hillary Clinton will certainly look like a presidential contender Thursday as she embarks on a swing through Hollywood.

While Clinton continues to deny her presidential aspirations and Hollywood Democrats started the year fatigued and frustrated following their unsuccessful effort to elect John Kerry, recent political setbacks for President George W. Bush and Republicans have emboldened Democrats in the entertainment industry.

No fewer than three separate fundraisers drawing on Hollywood coincoin are set for the New York senator's West Coast trip, including a $500-per-person reception at the home of Rob ReinerRob Reiner and a $1,000-brunchhosted by film producers Bruce Cohen and Dan JinksDan Jinks. Television producer Marta Kauffman will also welcome Clinton to her home for a fundraiser.

Tuesday, two books were published prophesizing about a Clinton victory in 2008: Dick Morris' "Condi vs. Hillary" takes the con position on the former First Lady, while arguing the pro is Susan Estrich's "The Case for Hillary Clinton."

And with the ratings success of ABC's frosh skeinskein "Commander in Chief," which stars Geena Davis as the first female President, pundits see the portrayal as warming the country up to the idea of a woman leading the White House.

Clinton also will be making public appearances in L.A. on Thursday and Friday, including delivering a keynote address on women's health for the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center's Women's Guild.

Conservative columnist Robert Novak made waves this summer when he reported in his Chicago Sun-Times column that Clinton was losing support in Hollywood to fresher faces with presidential aspirations, like Vigrinia Gov. Mark Warner or Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh. But supporters like Cohen don't think Clinton's support ever really waned among the entertainment industry.

Sweet Home, Hollywood. If she clicks her heels together three times and says, "There's no place like home." Does it work?

Did she check under the seat cushions?

'Hollywood' as to liberal Democrats in the entertainment industry, is/are looking more feeble and desperate than ever what with this Hillary promotional-fundraiser-grubbing-not-political-but-yes-political tour by Hillary.

I call it desperation mostly because it epitomizes to my view just how few and what unoriginal thinking is actually involved by the so-called creatives among entertainment. By fundraising for a Senator (supposedly) in New York State, entertainers in CA's Hollywood and Hillary herself seem to want the rest of America to focus on just how insincere and superficial they actually are.

I mean, most of us guessed as much, but this does tend to seal the deal. I'm surprised a so-called Senator from New York would be fundraising in CA for her so-called re-election to the so-called Senate from New York. I'm just surprised that anyone in New York takes her so-called Senate re-election campaign seriously.

As to Hollywood, at least the Democrats in the entertainment industry involved in funding Hillary Clinton, they do seem impelled toward failure, but this does emphasize just how much.

I can't think of a thing Hillary Clinton has to offer anyone at this point, other than a few books for Viking Press.

Seems almost everyone but the extreme left hates Hillary.

She is the most divisive person in politics and she will lose.

Lets hope she takes a boat load of money and that it all goes down a dark hole of spending that will do no good for her.

She's DOA on arrival IMO and even the press won't be able to circle the wagons to the level she would need.

Start with a commercial against her with her in it in her famous "We Will Take Thinks From You" taxation speech.

I wonder if Barbara Streisand will be as generous with Hillary given the fact that she can't give the same ...eer incentives that Bill did?

[manwiththehands]

I agree.

Run, Hillary! Run!

[Enchante]

Really pitiful journalism - I realize it's just a 'Variety' love letter to Hillary, but how can any journalist write about Hillary fundraising in Hollyweird and not even MENTION her foray there in 2000 which resulted in massive campaign fraud????
