Bill Clinton will headline a fundraiser 4 Representative Carolyn Maloney's primary challenge to Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand

But perhaps the biggest news for the prospective candidate looking to win what was until January the Senate seat of Hillary Clinton is the scheduled July 20 fundraiser at the St. Regis which will feature Bill Clinton. Maloney announced the details herself to the crowd.

The Maloney camp acknowledged that the event was scheduled well before her decision to challenge Gillibrand, but also suggested that it would serve as a meaningul boon to the campaign."Certainly it's a good thing to have the president do an event for her," said Maloney's chief strategist (and, apparently, lone staffer at this point), Joe Trippi. "He's a major attraction. It is meaningful to the campaign and to her."But an aide to the former president said it would be a mistake to read any special significance into Clinton's attendance at the fund-raiser, which is part of a series of events he is participating in to thank supporters of Hillary Clinton for their hard work during the 2008 presidential campaign. The aide said, "The former president believes that Senator Gillibrand is doing a good job as senator and this type of thank-you event, and any other he may do, should not be read as an endorsement or un-endorsement."

  4. i just found out this pertaining to Bill Clinton supporting Maloney on July 20

    "He had promised all the people in Congress who helped Hillary that he would do a fundraiser for them. We are expecting that he will not go forward if she declares for Senate...


    She has tried to time it cleverly so that it looks like he is supporting her, and is pushing it. "
