• Washington Post Reports On Peter Feddo's Draft Hillary Committee

  After months of work, the momentous day for Peter Feddo and his colleagues at the "draft Hillary" movement had finally arrived: Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's formation of an exploratory committee meant a presidential run was imminent.
  
  So what now?
  
  Draft committees are a peculiar political animal; they exist to start building excitement for a presidential candidate who hasn't even decided to run. They launch Web sites, collect names of potential supporters and raise money in anticipation of a presidential bid.

• CNN Reports On My Draft Committee

  Sen. Clinton is getting some unsolicited help for a potential run for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination. Peter Feddo , a 22-year-old Virginian, has filed papers with the Federal Election Commission to register the Hillary Rodham Clinton for President Committee. Feddo told the Grind he launched the committee to help Clinton build a national grassroots network, while she focuses her attention on the 2006 Senate race.
  
  "We need to be out there raising support for her, while she is running for re-election," said Feddo, a computer consultant. Feddo said he has not spoken to the Clinton campaign about his efforts but he added, "They know we are out here and raising her profile in a positive way."
