A company associated with Hillary Clinton's top presidential campaign advance staff has purchased a website domain that hints of a 2012 presidential bid for the vanquished senator from New York. HRC2012.com was bought by the Markham Group on June 8, according to whois.com Greg Hale of the Markham Group served as a key advance aide to Sen. Clinton, organizing political events for the campaign. The Markham website calls him the "lead consultant for advance and visual messaging." Partners Paul Neaville and Robert McClarty (the son of former White House chief of staff Thomas "Mack" McClarty) also worked on Clinton's advance team. According to whois.com, the site was registered by Todd Wilder, a longtime Democratic operative from Florida. A picture of Clinton pops up when the company's website is called up. Mo Elleithee, a Clinton spokesman, said that Clinton officially associates herself with three websites: hillpac.com, for her political action committee, hillaryclinton.com, for her presidential campaign and now her '12 Senate re-election campaign, and a separate site dedicated to retiring her presidential debt. In 2006, HillaryClinton.com was used as the principle Senate re-election site, so it's not clear why a separate 2012 site would be required. If Obama loses in November, Clinton would have to pick between running for re-election and running for president. Clinton advisers say that she is committed to helping elect Obama and, at the same time, wants to keep her options open. But Elleithee said he knew nothing about the HRC2012.com site.

The Clintonistas hedging their bets.
Is Helliry expecting a bad Obama presidency?
Her Senate seat is up in 2012.
Senate 2012...Our last chance to get rid of her for good!! Trust me...in 4 years, she’ll look like hell.
It’s not easy to kill a Balrog.
If BHO gets elected she'll have a hard time challenging him as an incumbent. By 2016 she'll be so long in the tooth there will be no way. I believe 2012 may be her very last chance, slim but possible.
She’s gearing for 2012. There is no way Obama can win , some democrats are already seeing this.
No, Hiliarly is expecting that President John McCain will be worn out in four years and after the ‘Rats have watched Obama-lama-ding-dong go down in flames this November, that she will be their natural saviour.
And don’t let anybody kid you about this:
The Clintons are going to do their level best to make sure Obama is NOT elected, the same way they chewed up the undercarriage of John F’in Kerry in ‘04 because if (gawd forbid) the traitor from Massachusetts had been elected President, he would be looking for a second term THIS year and that would have put the kabosh on her recent campaign.
The Clintons are no more going to help get Obama elected than Lifesite News is going to start taking advertising from Planned Parenthood.
Take that to the bank.
