Never say never.
Madam Secretary — Hillary Clinton herself — who as head of the State Department is no longer permitted to engage in political activity on behalf of herself or anyone else, has a new entity online. While she had to close up her political action committee, Clinton allies have created a place where her supporters can gather and check up on Hillary.
Go to NoLimits.org, which will "keep you up to date with news about issues on which Hillary took a lead and we know you care so much about," Ann Lewis, the group's president, said in the announcement to an e-mail list of campaign supporters.
According to the New York Daily News, Clintonistas deny the site is an effort to keep supporters engaged for a possible presidential bid in 2016, and just feel these Hillary fans need a home. Chris Lehane, a former Bill Clinton aide, told the Daily News that it results from "a group of folks who developed relationships in an intense environment and want to stay together."
But the politically keen Larry Sabato, professor at the University of Virginia, also told the Daily News, "Whenever a group like this says it's not a political organization, you just know it is."
