Hillary likely to announce bid this weekend

Hillary Clinton is expected to announce her campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016 as early as this weekend, facing no substantial competition but needing to get her organization in place for the long battle to come.
A variety of sources in the Hillary orbit said they were anticipating an imminent announcement but would not confirm a report in the New York Daily News that the announcement was expected tomorrow.
The Guardian newspaper reported that Hillary would make her announcement on Twitter at noon eastern time tomorrow while headed to the early voting state of Iowa, followed up by email and video announcements.
In her previous presidential run in 2008, Hillary lost to the current president, Barack Obama.
Her campaign is expected to concentrate on making the 67-year-old former first lady relatable to ordinary Americans. She spent four years jetting to foreign capitals as Obama's first-term secretary of state but has had limited day-to-day contact with everyday Americans.
Hillary, the wife of former President Bill Clinton, is the overwhelming favorite for the Democratic nomination.
A Quinnipiac University poll released this week had the surprising result that she was even or only slightly ahead of some Republican contenders like libertarian Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky. Most polls in recent months have shown her with a substantial lead over the Republican 2016 field.
