CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton didn't reveal whether she plans to run for president when she called Anita Freedman a few weeks ago.

"I didn't give her a chance," said Freedman, 79, who displays pictures of the Clintons all over her Portsmouth, N.H., home. "As soon as she said, 'Hi, this is Hillary Clinton,' I said, 'Oh, great! Tell me what we need to do.'"

Six years after leaving office, President Clinton still has plenty of friends in New Hampshire and Iowa, the states that traditionally launch the presidential nominating process.

And, many of the folks known as "Friends of Bill" count themselves as "Friends of Hill," as well. Some, like Freedman, a Democratic national committeewoman regarded by many as one of the matriarchs of the New Hampshire party, are eager to rekindle the flame.

Others, though, remain undecided on the 2008 race or have gravitated toward other candidates. It remains to be seen how much of her husband's network of supporters Mrs. Clinton, now a New York senator, can resurrect or what role they would play if she decides to get into the race, as expected.
