WASHINGTON - Hillary Clinton says running for office isn't on her "radar," but she still has an eight-person political team and sports two overflowing campaign war chests.
Her team transformed the former Democratic White House contender's massive campaign debts into a $3 million mountain of political cash, according to federal fund-raising records through the end of June.
Clinton's failed presidential bid is now $1 million in the black, and her old Senate campaign committee has $2.1 million in the bank, much of it transferred in from the presidential account.
The former First Lady paid eight staffers nearly $100,000 in the second quarter of the year to tend to the remains of her political empire.
She officially pulled out of the political arena in January when she became secretary of state. But Clinton's campaign Web site continues to accept contributions.
Democratic operatives were surprised at the size of the operation. "She's got eight?" said one Democrat. "Can I get a job there?"......."

I don’t care who takes Obama down. My hands will never have his blood.
Think she’ll take the shot in 2012? I think, up to this point, Obama has done a perfect job of marginalizing her and putting her on the sidelines so she won’t have the juice later on to win an election. Looks like Hillary read him right though, and is working to deflect that atrophy to her image. In 2012, will they have had enough of Obama? Will she be there to grab the mantle, to say “Is everyone ready to acknowledge their mistake and choose me?” It could work, no question it could work.
Who retired that massive campaign debt from the last election?
Apparently she got the money. I had not heard that either.
Dose this surprise anyone? Come on.. really folks
Plain and simple? Yep.
Power is the only thing she wants. In that perspective, she is actually quite simple to understand. A person like that- they will never stop until they get that power. It's what motivates their every waking moment, thought and deed.
What would she have to lose by taking on Obama again? Being Sec of State? Ha! She doesn't care about being Sec of State except it allows her to be an insider to his administration. She'll know every one of his week points come 2012 and she will go straight for his throat.
Not even a 'rounding error' in the amount that Nbambi could produce.
Never thought I’d want the Hillabeast in charge, but at least she has a measurable IQ.
And - she’s not a racist.
Bad use of words...
It’s funny to say this but even Hillary would look good as pres. compared to Obama
If she resigns her position before the end of 2010, that's the sign that she's probably going to do it.
Bill should take more interest in his estranged wife if she’s sporting ... (OK I won’t say it). That would put her in Monica territory.
The Clintoons are like vampires—they just won’t die. For conservatives, they are the gift that keeps on giving!
You raise a good point. I wonder where Rahm Emanuel’s sympathies will fall...
Whatever is good for Rahm! It would be tough for him to turn on Obama being based in Chicago.
