Hillary Ads Hit The Airwaves
Group With No Tie To NY Senator Promotes 2008 Run For President

Hillary Clinton isn't running for president, but her campaign already has started in New Hampshire.

A group, Hillary Now!, this week will run TV ads in Manchester, Concord, Portsmouth, Salem and Nashua, pushing the New York senator for president in 2008. The group has no official ties to Clinton's office, but its president, Bob Kunst, of Miami Beach, said he is laying the foundation for her possible bid for the presidency.


"Hillary is the strongest Democrat. She's the most popular woman in the country," said Kunst, who believes the polarizing senator will attract votes from Republicans who are unhappy with the Bush administration.

"The party simply says, 'Well, Hillary divisive, Hillary controversial.' We say that is an asset, not a liability," Kunst said. "Nobody gets attacked like her, but on the other hand nobody has the support like her."

Clinton has not openly declared ambitions for the presidency, though she is perennially mentioned as a contender. She received more than 600 write-in votes for vice president during the 2004 New Hampshire primary. Press Secretary Philippe Reines said Clinton is flattered by Kunst's efforts, but is concentrating on getting re-elected to the Senate next year.

And now, in anticipation of 2012, we have this from Chicago Dentist William DeJean:



Of course, once again Hillary Clinton has not actually said she will be be running for president, but...

UPDATE: I was wondering about Clinton being part of the current Mideast peace talks. I recall that when she accepted the position of Secretary of State, pundits said it was a dead end because she would become invisible. When Mitchell became the point man in the Middle East, that seemed to confirm those suspicions. But now Hillary is involved. It could be because, Mitchell was unsuccessful.

But it could also be because considering the collateral that Obama is losing in his push--from the beginning of his term--for peace between Israel and the PA, that Obama wants to see Clinton share in the responsibility.

Of course, it could just be that he wants her to share in the inevitable success of these talks...

Nah.
