More evidence that Hil won't run for president? jewishworldreview.com \| (KRT) In the clearest sign that she will not run for President next year, Sen. Hillary Clinton launched a Web site Monday for a 2006 re-election campaign. The site, www.friendsofhillary.com, has policy positions, photos and ways to "help re-elect Hillary," including links to make donations. The site had so much traffic on day one, it briefly crashed. Although the former First Lady repeatedly has vowed not to run for President in 2004, speculation endures that she will. Last week, Republican National Committee members meeting in New York asked reporters whether they thought Clinton would seek the White House next year. The executive director of Friends of Hillary, Patti Solis Doyle, said simply that it was time to begin focusing on Clinton's re-election three years from now. "Everyone really needs to start fund-raising at some point, and this is a small step toward that," she said. Dan Allen, of the Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee, replied, "Hillary Clinton knows that she has to start early for 2006. The agenda she supports is something Americans across the country are against." Friends of Hillary raised $2 million in the last two years, but Clinton has focused on aiding other Democrats - generating more than $5 million for them since 2001. Her new Web site offers donors a signed copy of her new book, "Living History," for $150 - or a signed limited edition for $1,000. The site also invites supporters to join "Hill's Angels," to "fight back" against a "right wing" that has launched a campaign "to defeat Hillary in 2006" with "the same old politics of personal destruction," including "hate-filled e-mail." Hill's Angels has four tiers, with a top contribution of $500.
