New York Junior Senator Hillary Rodham Cliton has become deeply involved in assembling and raising money for an orginization designed to provide a voice to the progressive wing of the Democratic Party.

The group is said to be a 501(c)3 non for profit or 501(c)4 aimed at 'countering the efforts of the political right wing in terms of reasearch and policy development as well as communications outreach,' according to a source.

One observer said that the entity could become both a 501(c)3 functioning as a Democratic think tank and 501(c)4 as a rapid research and response outlet.

A democrat strategist, who described HRC as the 'tinder to the flame' for the org said, 'Hillary is getting power because she can put the money in.'

The current crop of 2004 losers could find their way out of a paper bag.

Will contributions have to be legal, withing the maximum amounts, be traceable and verifiable, not be in unmarked cash delivered at a secret location, be made only by US citizens, or will the usual DNC rules apply?

[ewing]

No unmarked bills from part time gardeners in the traditional paper sack slipped underneath the Lincoln Bedroom door?

Hope she does it and hope she spends every damn penny. At some point her well will run dry and then the fun will begain.

What the heck is so "progressive" about the economic ruin, repression and mass murder that always accompanies socialism?

[mr.pink]

Marc Rich owes the Clinton machine big time, maybe he'll do the gracious thing and foot the bill.

I'm sure the War Room goons are going to be thrilled to be back in the shakedown business.

New York Junior Senator Hillary Rodham Cliton has become a voice to the progressive wing of the Democratic Party.

Why don't these Dems come clean with the American public and proclaim a name change to the Social Democrats and be done with it. "Progressive" is sooo transparent and passe`.

[Geezerette]

Progressive wing of the D-RAT party? PROGRESSIVE? To Socialist/Marxist quicker, I would assume.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

The the left wing now uses the term "progressive" to describe themselves because more and more people are disgusted by liberals and leftists. They are trying to fool all of the people all of the time.

Did anyone notice how non-presidential Kerry-Heinz and
LIEberman looked last night. Edwards was all hunched over
trying to look pensive, but failing.
Big shortage of "Gravitas" there.

I think donors over a certain amount ($900?) have to be made public if a request is made. Can't wait to see the donor list.

Kerry looked like a zombie. Ick.
