Grass roots group for Hillary unveils TV ads

[wyldwolf]

CONCORD, N.H.(AP) _ 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, Fla., 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."

Let the cynical conspiracy mongering two percenters wail about this for a while!

1. Will Kunst ever stop

He has spent months trying to promote her last year, even after the primaries had started.

Now he starts way too early, when we need unity to win seats in 06.

What is going to follow? Bay, Warner, Edwards, Kerry, and Clark supporters running ads in NH and IA?

What a loss of energy and money.

2. This part of the grassroots says NO TO HILLARY

We can do better. No DLC members who stand for whatever their "handlers" say they should stand for. Yes, that's part of politics to some degree, but Hillary is not our best choice. NO HILLARY!! Stay in the senate.
