Our new series, Hillary Watch 2016 is percolating today with a shocking headline revelation as reported in Politico:
Hillary Clinton’s New Website
So for those who do not think she is running in 2016, the royal HRC left the State Department this past Friday, and only two work days later, her website is up and running. Politico reports:
Hillary Clinton has found her post-State Department home on the World Wide Web.
HillaryClintonOffice.com is bare-bones so-far, sporting only a picture of the former Secretary of State and a contact form. According to registration data, the site was created Jan. 31, and was last edited Sunday. The URL was registered through GoDaddy.com.
Clinton’s 2008 campaign site, HillaryClinton.com, now links to HillaryClintonOffice.com.
Clinton has remained coy about her post-Cabinet plans, but has said she plans to continue to advocate for women and girls, and pledged to be an outside advocate for the State Department in her valedictory address to department employees.
Here is the screen grab and caption from Politico.

Now Hillary Watch 2016 fans might want to sign up just to see what Team HRC is up to while HRC does “a lot of sleeping.” (Her words about what she will be doing after stepping down from the State Department.)
To that I say, “Dream on,” to any Republican who does not believe HRC will be the 2016 Democrat candidate for president. And while dreaming, the GOP had better prepare for HRC to hit the campaign trail in 2014 supporting Democrat candidates who will “work with her.” Certainly HRC will be the rock star fundraiser in 2014, even more perhaps than President BHO or former President WJC.
Okay, fine. She’s once again “Her Inevitableness.”
Until the Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) get distracted by yet another shiny new toy.
After eight years of Obama, Hillary is nothing to be afraid of. We’ve been boot-on-the-necked by experts already.
It is interesting that you used the phrase “Hillary is nothing to be afraid of.” So just for fun go back and read Hillary Watch 2016 from yesterday. It is called, “Be Afraid Republicans, Be Very Afraid,” from a piece by a Republican in the Daily Beast.

The Republicans sold us McCain in 2008 largely because we were meant to be afraid, be very afraid, of Hillary Clinton. I was among those arguing long before she declared that she wouldn’t win and might not even be the nominee.
I still think McCain would have beaten her if she had.
I don’t think that author is a republican
He worked for Daddy Bush. It says that in the front of the piece.
Some enterprising conservative entity needs to do an ad which updates Hillary’s “3AM Call” ad from the 2008 presidential campaign:
“You have reached the Clinton White House. Please listen carefully, for our options have changed. If you are calling with a SuperPAC contribution, press 1. If you are calling about raising taxes, press 2. If you are calling about domestic policy, press 3. If you are calling about foreign policy, press 4. If you are calling about defense cuts, press 5. If you are calling about an ongoing attack on one of our embassies, and are in imminent peril, press 6. Please stay on the line; your call is very important to us, and will be answered by the first available operator in the order it was received. This is the last message you will hear.”
doesn’t matter, as of 2/5/2013 – everyone knows you can just hit 0 and get the operator….
