Activist forms Hillary Clinton for President campaign


By Peter Feddo - Posted on 01 December 2005

A Democratic activist in Virginia has formed a national Hillary Clinton for President campaign committee and said his dream ticket for 2008 is to have New York's junior senator paired with his own Governor Mark Warner.

Peter Feddo, a former top official with the Young Democrats of Virginia, filed papers with the Federal Election Commission that allows his independent committee to raise and spend money promoting a Clinton 2008 presidential candidacy.

Neither Clinton nor Warner has said they are running for national office, but both are considered hot prospects for 2008 by party leaders.

National polls show the former first lady, who is seeking re-election next year, far ahead of her potential 2008 rivals. Warner, who leaves office at the end of this year, is steadily improving in those polls.

So far, the Clinton camp is officially ignoring the effort.

Clinton advisor Howard Wolfson said Clinton is focused on doing the best job she can for New Yorkers in the Senate and her re-election in 2006.
