[quote][B]What's really behind Hillary Clinton's latest wave of speeches?[/B]
Washington (CNN) -- Three speeches, three days.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is starting to look a lot like someone who is picking up the pace of a presidential campaign -- complete with the perks and the challenges that come with it.
On Wednesday, she spoke to the University of Buffalo. Thursday, she returned to Washington for her place in the lineup of high-profile public figures at a conference the Center for American Progress was hosting. Friday night she did Colgate University's "distinguished speakers" series in upstate New York.
Asked in Buffalo what her ideal presidential candidate in 2016 would look like, she said: "I'm not as interested in what the candidate looks like as what the candidate stands for and what the candidate really believes needs to be the agenda for America's future, particularly as it relates to young people like students at this great university."
And in what could be interpreted as either a slight dig at President Barack Obama -- or at least a way of differentiating herself -- she added, "and what the candidate brings to the table in terms of being able to not only present the agenda but have a very specific set of plans of implanting the agenda and bringing the country along."[/quote]

CNN discusses potential democrat candidates for the 2016 election, Hillary ensues

Nope. Thoroughly Washington establishment. Which is why mainstream Democrats love her.
I find the thought of Clinton as president Hillaryous.
Only a idiot would vote for Hillary Clinton.
Didn't she have a bunch of problems with her health? Becoming the president of the United States probably isn't the best way to deal with that.
Good thing this is so relevant less than a year after the last election.

I honestly can't imagine a worse Democratic candidate. The Clinton administration was just Republican-lite, it was terrible for poor people. Hillary is not a progressive and would govern exactly like Clinton and Obama have, without doing anything to pull the country's center of gravity back to the moderate area of the spectrum.
Elizabeth Warren 2016...
If Hillary gets to be the first Woman President; then I should get to be first Atheist President!
