Hillary Yanks Presidential E-mail From Web Site

New York Sen. Hillary Clinton abruptly yanked from her campaign Web site on Friday several e-mail messages urging her to run for president.

The move came after NewsMax.com and other news organizations suggested the messages indicated that she was surreptitiously trying to gin up support for a presidential bid.

Clinton's office said that the presidential messages were posted by aides who had not sought her permission, but that she personally decided to put a stop to the practice today.

Some of the messages that were visible on FriendsofHillary.com Friday morning but had later vanished include the following:

"Whether you decide to run for President or stay in the Senate, you will always have my continued support no matter what. As far as the ‘Hillary Haters/Right-Wing Conspiracy,’ don’t sweat them. Just hold your head up high and stay as proud as you always have." -Kim C.

"Her book was outstanding!!!! I could go on and on about how impressed I was reading the depth of her history and what I know she will do in the future. Should she plan to run for President of the United States in the future, she can count not only on my vote but on my help in her campaign in Nebraska." - Jan S.

"Hillary, you have never made me feel anything less than proud to have had you as a First Lady and now as a US Senator. I would love nothing more than to see you in the White House – the sooner the better. You will always have my continued support whether it’s for the Senate or President. Go get 'em, girl!" - Kim C.

"I look forward for your updates concerning Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and will support her for as long as she remains in politics. She is a wonderful person and I hope some day she will be the President of the United States of America." - Janice M.

"I am very supportive of Hillary’s political future ... my brother and his wife live in Chappaqua ... and I will always support Hillary ... my intuition tells me, some day, she will be at the top!!!" - Gina P.

On Thursday Sen. Clinton defended displaying the e-mail encouraging her to run for president, telling the New York Post that it represented "freedom of speech."

But after the messages disappeared, Clinton's spokesman Philippe Reines told the Associated Press, "We don't want anyone to be confused" about her plans.
