Hillary gets ready to run
cnn ^ | 8/20/06

Posted on 08/20/2006 11:10:56 AM PDT by LouAvul

If you ask anyone around Hillary Clinton the question that everyone is asking, the answer comes back in a shot: The freshman Senator from New York is far too busy concentrating on her re-election in November to be giving even a passing thought to 2008. Thank you very much.

But politics is ultimately a game of logistics, and the junior Senator is putting the machinery in place for a campaign that looks far grander than a re-election cakewalk in New York. All it will need is for someone to throw the switch.

Against virtually nonexistent opposition for her Senate seat, she is raising money as though she were in the fight of her life, bringing in more than $33 million. What's left over -- which might easily be $10 million or more -- could be the seed money for a presidential campaign.

And as her husband did the year before launching his 1992 bid for the presidency, she has been putting together the intellectual pieces of a campaign agenda in a series of centrist, high-fiber speeches around energy policy, the economy, privacy and even rural issues.

Her political operation has grown to an army of 32 full-time employees, plus 10 from her Senate office who draw part of their salary there, and 13 consultants who are building, among other things, a national direct-mail operation. She recently added an Internet guru to their ranks.

And offering his services for free is the best Democratic political strategist on the planet: Bill Clinton is "thinking about [her presidential prospects] all the time," says one of Hillary's advisers. "He's thinking about it and talking to a lot of people, promoting Hillary. This is something he is very focused on."

If she's running, we'll know within 2 weeks after the election.

She's not going to waste any time.

Unless things can change, I expect that she is the likely next prez. It is scary. I hope that "INDICTING HILLARY" can have an impact. HillCAP.org

It's a strategy move. I wish she would just go to jail along with her rapist husband then we would never have to hear about them again.

When will we see the Third Party Candidate? Like her husband, Hillary can't win without a third party candidate to draw Republican votes away, just like Perot did in '92 and '96.
