A grassroots
group led by a Florida gay rights activist is releasing a TV
campaign in New Hampshire in support of New York senator
Hillary Clinton for president.
Bob Kunst of
Miami Beach heads the group, Hillary Now! which hopes to lay
the foundation for Clinton's possible bid for the U.S.
presidency in 2008. Kunst ran an independent campaign
for Florida governor in 2002, getting 0.8% of the
vote.
Clinton has said
she is concentrating on her reelection to the U.S.
Senate next year and has not openly declared her
ambitions for the presidency, though she is
perennially mentioned as a contender.
The animated
commercial shows Clinton driving a garbage truck labeled
"Bush's Mess." Clinton empties trash cans labeled "Iraq."
"War on Terror," Health Care," and "Budget," while a
giggling President Bush hides on the White House lawn.
But only night
owls will see the ads. They will run on cable news from
1 a.m. to 5 a.m. starting Tuesday through Thursday in
Concord, Manchester, Portsmouth, Nashua, and Salem.
