NEWS FLASH! Is She or Isn't She? (Hillary electronic filing with FEC done by DraftHillary)
Insight Magazine ^ | 10/7/03

Posted on 10/07/2003 11:02:31 AM PDT by areafiftyone

She's said it more than 140 times - and counting - despite hints, wants, wishes and hopes that she's not running for the White House in 2004.

Then what to make of ID # P00003392, an electronic filing to be found at the Federal Election Commission (FEC) database?

"Clinton, Hillary Rodham - Office Sought: President; Election year 2004; State: Presidential Candidate; District 03; Party: DEM (Democratic Party)."

A call to Sen. Clinton's Washington office elicited a surprised reaction from a spokesman who said: "I don't know anything about it."

The FEC, when contacted by Insight, explained the "odd" entry in its database as having been filed on Sept. 17, 2003, by an outfit called "DraftHillaryforPresident2004."

This group, which the FEC calls "an unauthorized" draft committee, lists Eric Leondard as its treasurer and he and/or it are located at 504-17th Road South, #201, Arlington, VA 22204.

An FEC spokesman explained that under the agency's procedures, once a filing is made - by anyone, on behalf of anyone - then the filing gets an ID and automatically enters the name of the "candidate," in this case the junior senator from New York state.

The FEC further notes that no other supporting documentation is available on this item found at www.fec.gov. And, yes, the FEC confirms that it has started receiving a number of calls from inquiring minds.

So rather than rely on gossip, your intrepid editors have gone to the sources and asked what's up. End of story. Right?

[Editor's Note: Following up with Clinton's office, a spokesman said they were relieved by the news. "I knew we had nothing to do with it. Thanks for clearing that up."]

Maybe she figures her chances are better for getting nominated this time considering the slag heap of Dem candidates so far. Running against an incumbent president who isn't the greatest communicator and is being daily lambasted in the liberal press for everything under the sun would be preferable to running against someone like Condy Rice who would mop the floor with her in any debate senario.

I checked the FEC's candidate master file at ftp://ftp.fec.gov/FEC/cn04.zip, and something seems wrong.

Candidate ID# P00003392 is, as the article states, for a District 03 race. It looks to me as though Candidate ID# P00003392 is for the presidential race. See the record layout at ftp://ftp.fec.gov/FEC/cn04.txt.

Maybe I'm reading the file wrong.

Sorry... cut and paste didn't work right.

It looks like Candidate ID# S0NY00188 is for the presidential race.

"This much is certain: She's foolish to think she can bide her time, strolling effortlessly to the Democratic nomination five years from now. If she wants to make history as the first woman in the Oval Office, her time has arrived."

MSNBC begs Hillary to run
WND | 9-29-03



Said another way:

... An end run is her only option.

And contrary to conventional wisdom, time is not on her side. Not only are the clintons in general decline, not only is she vulnerable in '06, but in this post-9/11 world,

as more clinton failures and betrayals are documented, increasingly favorable demographics will prove insufficient to resuscitate disfavored, dysfunctional, dangerous democrat demagogues like the clintons.

Look, therefore, for the clintons to make their move in '04. Susan Estrich, Al From and The Times aren't on the same "Get the clintons off the stage!" page for no reason.
