E-mails urging New York Sen. Hillary Clinton to run for president next year have reappeared on her campaign Web site three months after she ordered similar e-mails removed, saying at the time that she didn't want to create the impression she might enter the 2004 race.
"It is a loss for the country that Senator Clinton isn't running for President next year," wrote Irene, in a message posted in the last few days.
"I am sure that the Democratic nominee for President will be a fine person. However, Senator Clinton would provide an exciting intellectual alternative to the dry, passionless choices we now have," observed Antonio in another recently posted e-mail.
Similar messages posted to the "Hill Notes" page of FriendsofHillary.com in late August prompted a firestorm of media speculation that Sen. Clinton was considering breaking her word and jumping into the presidential race.
But after the e-mails were widely quoted in press reports, Sen. Clinton's spokesman Philippe Reines said she had personally ordered them taken down.
"We don't want anyone to be confused," Reines told reporters, promising, "Any future messages promoting a 2004 run will not be placed on the site."
A call to Sen. Clinton's office asking why Mr. Reines' pledge was no longer being enforced was not returned by press time.
