Democrats Ready for Post-Holiday Clinton Announcement

Democrats Ready for Post-Holiday Clinton Announcement PERRY BACON JR.

Hillary Clinton is expected to announce in January that she will run for president, Democratic sources say, and the shape of that effort is becoming clear -- with a campaign operation headquartered in the New York City suburbs and a campaign message that plays up the possibility of electing the first female president much more so than in 2008.

Party sources emphasize there is still a small chance the former first lady will opt not to run, and some Democrats say there is no reason for her to begin a campaign so soon. But she is expected to begin preparation for a campaign over the next two months, while also giving speeches on some of her favorite causes, such as appearances at the Massachusetts Conference for Women and the League of Conservation Voters in December.

She could forgo forming an exploratory committee, a step she took in January 2007 during her last run, and simply declare that she is a candidate. Democratic operatives have spent months positioning themselves for places on her campaign staff, but it’s already clear that Clinton’s team will include voices from her husband’s administration, such as former White House director of political affairs Minyon Moore, top aides from her last campaign like then-traveling chief of staff Huma Abedin and trip director Greg Hale, as well as some of her close advisers at the State Department, such as speechwriter Dan Schwerin.

“Ready for Hillary,” which is officially unaligned with Clinton, is expected to fold, with some of its staff joining the official campaign operation. But the Democratic organization American Bridge, which has designated staffers for the last year to defending Clinton from conservative attacks, will remain, both to support Clinton and to critique the GOP’s presidential field.

So the question then becomes...

Does the Chicago Mob sit this one out or do they roll out Baraq 2.0 (Warren/Castro/?) to take down the Clinton Crime Family one more time?

If I recall correctly, last time, Hillary never actually made a speech declaring her candidacy. She released a short talk on her website, explaining that she was forming an exploratory committee, and that she wanted to start a conversation with America. That she grew up in a middle class family in the middle of America, yadda, yadda, yadda.

So I wonder if she plans to make a dramatic speech of any kind to announce things. We’ll see.

If the Democrats want to nominate the enabling wife of an elderly serial rapist that’s fine with me. It’s a mystery to me why they think that she’s electable. Why not nominate Dottie Sandusky for VP while they’re at it.

People say that Hillary hasn’t accomplished anything. She invented the term “bimbo eruptions.” What more do you want?

The MSM have already anointed Jeb Bush to run against Hillary. I think they are setting it up. I think they set up McCain to run against Obama.

Americans are not going to want another Bush and I don't think there are enough people who are not conservatives who just plain don't like Hillary to keep her from winning if she gets that far.

It's either Brinker or Kudlow who say we have the best government money can buy.
