Hillary Clinton Hints at 2012 Presidential Bid PDF Print E-mail
by Tom McGregor    Fri, Jul 18, 2008, 11:52 AM

2012 HRC.jpgSen. Hillary Clinton’s campaign aides purchased a 2012 Web site domain that hints of a 2012 presidential bid. The Website named HRC2012.com was bought by the Markham Group on June 8, according to www.whois.com. The company is associated with Hillary Clinton’s top presidential campaign advance staff.

The Atlantic Monthly magazine reports that, “Greg Hale of the Markham Group served as a key advance aide to Sen. Hillary Clinton, organizing political events for the campaign. The Markham website calls him the ‘lead consultant for advance and visual messaging.’ Partners, Paul Neaville and Robert McClarty (the son of former White House chief of staff Thomas ‘Mack’ McClarty0 also worked on Clinton’s advance team. According to whois.com, the site was registered by Todd Wilder, a longtime Democratic operative from Florida.”

A photo of Clinton appears on the company’s website.

In 2006, HillaryClinton.com was used as the primary Senate re-election site, so it hasn’t been determined why a separate 2012 site would be required. If Obama loses in November, Clinton must choose between running for re-election and running for president.

According to the Atlantic, “Clinton advisers say that she is committed to helping elect Obama and, at the same time, wants to keep her options open. But (Mo) Elleithee (a Clinton spokesman) said he knew nothing about the HRC2012.com site.

BHO better be watching his back. “Clinton advisers say that she is committed to helping elect Obama." She may look that way on the surface but behind the scenes she will be trying to derail his campaign. She is not a graceful loser and you know she had rather face a republican incumbent than to challenge BHO in 2012.

For once and only once, I agree with Bryron. I wouldn't trust the Clintons as far as I could pick them up and throw them.

He could never pick her for VP. The two of them are such narcissists, they'd be clamoring for attention daily. Brilliant, but attention seeking missiles. Bill did leave the country better than he found it which is more than doufus is doing, but the baggage is so heavy....

Now Michael I agree, I think the Clintons killed Commerce Secretary Ron Brown, and I think they were the death of Vincent Foster in White Water investigation. Modern day crooks I tell you.

I never accused the Clintons of murder. Narcissm yes, murder no. That's the reason Obama could never pick Hillary, if anything ever happened to him, right wing conspiracists would never stop accusing them.

Over 4000 Americans dead and almost 100,000 Iraqis dead in a war based on lies? That's murder.

She is already telling everyone that she does not think Obama is the one for President (he's not).

What happened to the Dems Unity? Her endorsement of Obama is just that POLITICS and lying!!

Anyone can "buy" a domain name. It's not some big mysterious transaction.

Continuing to try to "divide" the Democratic Party are we?

Truly pathetic.
