She may be waiting until 2008 to run for President, but there is no doubt who is dearest to the hearts of Democrats. Sen. Hillary Clinton (D.-N.Y.) elicits Democrats' deepest affectionsand lots of their dollars. So reports Fortune magazine in its December 8 issue.
The article, "Love her or hate her, Clinton's dollars are driving the Democrats" by Jeffrey H. Birnbaum, says, "The junior senator from New York is the rock star of the Democratic Party. Her fans may not stampede or faint at her sight, but they pay lots of money to be in her presence. . . . She sells out every fundraiser she headlines, and it's largely because of her efforts that for the first time in memory the Senate Democrats' campaign committee has collected nearly as much money as the Republicans' committee."
Hillary, who is up for re-election to the Senate next year, has two main political fund-raising organs, Friends of Hillary and Hillpac. The latter is a leadership PAC, and it outdoes the Democratic leaders' own leadership PACs. "During the past three years, according to PoliticalMoneyLine.com, Hillpac has collected over $4 million; that's more than the leadership PACs of House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi ($2.2 million) and Senate leader Tom Daschle ($3.7 million)," reports Fortune.
Hillary also uses her $2.8-million home, named Whitehaven, in Washington, D.C., for fund-raising events on behalf of sundry Democratic politicians and candidates from around the country. "The house has become the Democrats' Fundraising Central, replacing the Georgetown mansion of the late Pamela Harriman," says Birnbaum.
Said Sen. Mark Dayton (D.-Minn.): "She's bigger than the other 99 of us combined."

How many of those dollars she's raising are actually legal? (I would guess less than one in 5)

Go for it, Hillary, suck all the attention from everyone else in your party, just like Bill did, leading to loss of both houses of Congress and ultimately loss of the Presidency....

I love her unconditionally, he continued, his voice partially obstructed by her ample buttocks pressing against both sides of his slobber-soaked face.

Hey, yeah! After trashing the White House, Mr. Clinton said of his new digs "I like to think of my new home as The White Trash, Stash House".....

"Hillary, who is up for re-election to the Senate next year" I thought she wasn't up for reelection till 2006.

If she ever runs for president, God forbid, I will make it my life's purpose, to not only defeat her, but to utterly humiliate her. All of the hatred for BJ Clinton can then be focused on his b!tch. We can only put their shamefully legacy behind us when she is destroyed politically.
We will find out in Nov 2004 whether the 3,000 deaths on 9/11 were enough to sober up America. If the mid-term elections are any indication, I think it is going to be a wakeup call for the democrats that they also need to put the Clintons behind them.
Lord, give us the strength, at this our time of great need, to cast out the enemies of goodness. In Jesus' name, Amen!

We need to make sure this NEVER happens. We need to see that she never gets the nomination. ( With this president she may be the one running as a conservative - seems GW has taken all of the dems social programs & inacted them. Forget about any judges with him & Frist running things)It's the "Two-Party Cartel' at its best.
