Hillary Clinton's got a new website, and it looks pretty presidential. Right now, it features only a contact button and a striking photo of the former secretary of state. But political analysts say the site—along with a mass email sent yesterday by Bill and Chelsea Clinton—keeps the door open for her political future, the New York Daily News reports. "These are not the kind of things you do if you want to fade quietly into the night," says a Democratic strategist.

"She can use this to create a candidacy, make people think she's creating a candidacy, or simply maintain her power. It's a perfect strategic move," says the strategist. HillaryClinton.com offers a link to the new site, HillaryClintonOffice.com, which was registered 24 hours before she left office on Friday.

Bill and Chelsea's email, meanwhile, asked subscribers to Bill's foundation to "thank Hillary for making our country and our world, stronger, safer and better." (More Hillary Clinton stories.)
