A page promoting Democrat Andru Volinsky for New Hampshire governor has popped up on the progressive MoveOn.org website, fanning hopes among some longtime fans that the former executive councilor might make a return to politics.

A Volinsky candidacy would also fill his party’s embarrassing vacancy in the governor’s race. Despite multiple candidates in the Democratic primaries for U.S. Senate and the 1st Congressional District, there isn’t an announced — or even rumored — Democratic candidate to challenge first-term Gov. Kelly Ayotte next year.

Unfortunately for his party, Volinsky says he’s not running.

The MoveOn.org page, which touts Volinsky’s work on education funding and with the ACLU, was posted by self-styled “Aspiring Political Strategist/Campaign Adviser” Michael Salzillo.
