Polls over, but Hillary's office is still open
Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton's re-election race may be over, but she is hardly closing up her campaign shop or worrying about deep debts.
Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton's re-election race may be over, but she is hardly closing up her campaign shop or worrying about deep debts.
Advisers to Ms. Clinton say she has more than $10 million left in her political bank account, not to mention a priceless reservoir of speeches, issue research, and financial networks nationally for any future use.
Her advisers also say that she does not intend to disassemble her campaign apparatus and staff, as many candidates do when an election ends, nor does she plan to immediately close her New York City and Washington campaign offices.
Indeed, the Clinton camp has spent months building a re-election team that could easily shift into gear for a 2008 presidential bid. Fresh from her landslide victory, and with a fistful of IOU's from winning Democratic candidates nationally, Ms.
The millions left in her campaign account have helped fuel chatter about a presidential bid among supporters in the last few days because that money could be used for political activity if she chooses to run.
Also stirring talk about her presidential ambitions was a memo sent out on Wednesday by a senior Clinton lieutenant that highlights the senator's political gains on Tuesday in traditionally moderate and Republican areas of New York.
Ms Clinton is expected to make a decision on a presidential bid this winter, and there has been slightly more open discussion about 2008 between her inner circle and outer circle advisers in the last couple of weeks.
