With the announcement by Obama, and having just returned from a study of the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, speculation is mounting that Hillary Clinton will announce her run for the Democratic Nomination this week.
Obama formed an exploratory committee, and wont report back until February 10 as to whether he is in for the long haul.
Clinton however is the front runner, she leads in most of the polls, and she has over $14 million in the bank, money left from her Senate run in November.
Because Obama has been given rock star status from the media, Clinton has been handed some real competition for her anticipated attempt to move back to Washington. His possible candidacy has taken some of the shine off her front runner status.
But Clinton has a great team behind her, and she has her husband. Plus, she will be able to raise more than all of the other candidates.
Will she attempt to limit the amount of coverage Obama has been getting by declaring her hand? We think so. So keep an eye out for the big announcement, it's coming soon.
