New York Daily News:For Hillary Clinton, Brooklyn may be the new Westchester.
If she decides to run for President again, the Democratic former Secretary of State may set up campaign shop in the city, rather than the suburbs, according to reports late Monday.
"For months, some in the Clinton universe thought that setting up the campaign in or around White Plains, a middle-class enclave with dozens of office parks, would be a good home for the former secretary of State's second presidential campaign," wrote The Hill, which first reported the story online Monday night.
"But using Brooklyn for its headquarters could be a useful symbol for a campaign that hopes to win over young people and has already been attacked by Republicans as 'old news,'" said the story, attributed to unnamed insiders.

..... instead of just leaking stuff like this. Strategically it's like floating a trial balloon which looks weak.

No matter what her campaign will have to be out of New York, just on the principle of the matter.
