Hillary Clinton Room Post

Hillary Clinton’s delayed 2016 timeline is finally coming into focus.

John Podesta, who is expected to serve as Clinton’s campaign chairman or in another senior role, said Wednesday that he plans to leave the Obama White House next month, ahead of a Clinton announcement expected in the late Spring.

“I’m probably going to leave in early February,” Podesta told Reuters. “If she decides to run, I told her I’d do anything I can to help her.”

1. According to a DUer here, Howard Dean (who has endorsed her) met with her yesterday.

I think this is looking like the roll-out time frame:

Democratic insiders increasingly point to early April as the most likely launch window, which would allow her to avoid filing a campaign finance report to the Federal Election Commission for the first quarter of the year. Easter falls on April 5 this year, so the week after appears likely.

Nothing is confirmed, Clinton insiders stress, and she could still decide not to run, though that appears increasingly unlikely.

2. I saw it. I think she is the only one at this point that can win.

I think she will run.

5. I think she realizes what an asset he would be

He can bring together a lot of groups.
