Will Hillary Clinton run for president in 2016?

Winning option:Yes Hillary Rodham Clinton on Sunday will officially launch her presidential campaign, which has been running behind the scenes for months and picks up where her failed 2008 presidential run left off.

The announcement - designed to be as low-key as anything involving Clinton can be - will start with a video and social media push. Then, starting as early as Tuesday, she will visit Iowa and other early primary states to meet and greet voters in restaurants and other modest venues.

A former secretary of state, U.S. senator and first lady, Clinton enters as the prohibitive favorite among Democrats while also polling far ahead of any potential Republican rival now on the scene.

Background

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton's 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren't the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don't know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.”

Run in primaries but may not win primaries

In case you haven't noticed, there's already a distinct favorite for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016: Hillary Rodham Clinton.

And you can't help but wonder if President Obama's team isn't aiding her cause.

Long-time Obama political adviser David Axelrod predicted that the former secretary of state would be the Democratic presidential nominee in 2016, though he left the door open for a campaign by Vice President Joe Biden.

Speaking at a conference in Toronto, Hillary Clinton said the U.S.electing a woman president would send "exactly the right historic signal" to the nation.
