Contributors to HILLPAC include the elite of New York and Los Angeles, with notable contributions from actress Marlo Thomas, former White House aide John Podesta, SlimFast chairman Daniel Abraham and financial writer Andrew Tobias. Clinton has also received $124,500 from corporate and union PAC corporations that gave her the maximum amount allowable, $5,000, including Long Island's Cablevision and Federal Express. Marlo Thomas is married to the viscerally liberal Phil Donahue......who's doing a major flopola on cable TV talk. These contributors remind me of the movie, "The Stepford Wives," who are programmed to be mindless, to not question or challenge anything or anybody. Hil's donors should be called the Stepford Democrats.
(Clinton) appears focused on using the money she does give to fellow candidates to build her own power base in the Senate. The few receivers of the Hillary largesse so far (as of May 2002) have included fellow Democrat senators in tough re-election races, such as Missouri's Jean Carnahan, Montana's Max Baucus and South Dakota's Tim Johnson. Clinton has also donated to several House members facing difficult elections, such as Rep. Lane Evans, D-Ill. According to the Buffalo News, HILLPAC also gave $10,000 to the embattled Sen. Bob Torricelli, D-N.J.
Hil really knows how to pick 'em, eh? Losers, I mean. Hil and Bill also backed Walter Mondale, NY guv loser Carl McCall, and Mass guv loser Shannon O'Brien, and many more too numerous to mention.
This is indicative of Hil building her power base? What a laugh.

Not to mention you need a lot bigger war chest than she has to launch much of anything in 2004!

My own guess is that she hasn't decided what to do yet. If something happens to radically lower Bush's popularity she may jump in the '04 campaign (I'm sure she would hate it if some other Dem won in '04, 'cause then he would be an incumbent in '08 and she might have to wait until '12). If Bush stays as popular as he is now I think she would wait rather than get pulped by Bush.
Unless...hmmm....she has some bizarre scheme up her sleeve. Maybe set up a replay of 2000, claim Bush "stole" the election, to set up the 2008 run? No telling with this witch.

I wouldn't mind seeing her run! Don't believe she can win because she will remind the Country how bad clinton was for eight years and our national security undermined at every turn. My guess is that RNC will not sit on their hands but will pump out so much negative on ms. clinton (sourced) that the press won't know what to do. Let the facts of his/her inaction speak for themselves. After all, she was a co-President as she reminded us many times!
That would put an end to the clintons once and for all IMO.
Believe she is waiting until after she sees what happens in Iraq then she will shove everyone out of the way if she thinks she has a chance.

Now that the big Dummycrat donors have been outed as corporate crooks, as grampadave wisely pointed out, they don't have the wherewithall to contribute like they used to.

Sen. Hillary Clinton's leadership PAC, called HILLPAC, had collected $1.3 million by the end of last year and contributed only a fraction of it $292,000, or 22 percent to other Democrat candidates, ..... But Clinton's PAC looks more like maverick Republican Sen. John McCain's PAC. With more than $2 million raised, McCain has given only a paltry $33,000 to fellow candidates.
What a minute here, Newsmax. Your compairing McCain to Hitlery: She gave 22%, McCain gave less then 2%. Sounds like apples and oranges to me.
22% hardly seems worthy of the attack that Newsmax is making. Have any other Newmax readers noticed that their articles and "news" have deteriorated of late?

Let the facts of his/her inaction speak for themselves. After all, she was a co-President as she reminded us many times! I would love to see the following ad, using footage from her testimony in front of Congress and with different questions being inserted electronially:
Q: Ms. Clinton, as co-president can you tell us what achievements you and Bill accomplished between 1992 and 2000?
Ms. C: I really have no information on that.
Q: Well, can you just give us one?
Ms. C: Really, I don't seem to recall.
Q: Ok. Lets move on then. Can you tell us about your plan for education?
Ms. C: I am sorry but I don't have that information.
Q: Excuse me? (Mouth agape)
Ms C: I really don't know.
Q: Ms. Clinton, surely education is important to many voters, please can you tell us something that you think you can do, as President to improve the quality of Education in the USA?
Ms. C: You really will have to ask someone else that question.
(Committee heads shaking as they look at each other incredulously)
Q: Ok. Lets take national defense, in what ways did your co-presidency improve the security of the country, improve the defense capabilties and strengthen the military?
Ms. C: I just don't know.
Comment: Now that is the first true statement you have made
Voiceover: She was a co-President for eight years, can we really endure another four?
To: Verginius Rufus
your right. I only looked at the posting date, not the date of the article and assumed it was current. So Newmax's shoddy writing goes back further then I thought. As much as i cannot stand Hillary, this seems non news to me.

thanks
