HILLARY RUNNING? Reader Leonard Murphy sends this:

Go to the Federal Election Commission homepage at www.fec.gov.
On the left of their homepage is a link labeled “Campaign Finance Reports and Data”, click it.
Scroll down a ways to Image/Query System, under that choose “View Financial Reports”…
Under the intro paragraph choose “Search the Report Image System”
In the dialogue box type “Clinton” and click “Get Listing”
20 entries down you`ll see “CLINTON, HILLARY RODHAM”, click on the blue number “P00003392” beside her name.

Guess what? “Presidential Candidate 2004 “.

Hillary Rodham Clinton filed late Friday, Oct 3rd, with the Federal Election Commission to run for President in 2004.

I followed his instructions and it took me here. Sure looks that way.

UPDATE: Hmm. Several readers, meanwhile, note that this is likely someone else filing for her. I don’t know what that means.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Kathryn Jean Lopez says the readers are right.

My readers: smarter than me, as usual.

YET ANOTHER UPDATE: More evidence that this is bogus, from Eugene Volokh.
