Former United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton chose a strange venue to drop one of her biggest hints yet that she’ll be running for president.
Speaking at the Marketo Marketing Nation Summit 2014 , Clinton reportedly said, “I am thinking about it,” when asked if she has 2016 intentions.
She also joked to the 3,500 strong crowd of marketers, who actually paid $1,195 (Approximately Kshs. 104,000) to attend the event, “I’m actually here to get some marketing advice.”
“I am obviously flattered and deeply honored, and I am thinking about it,” she reportedly said. “I’m going to continue to think about it,” she added, according to NBC News’sAndrew Rafferty.
“The hard questions aren’t do you want to be president, or can you win. The hard question is why,” Clinton told the audience at Moscone Center West in San Francisco’s Financial District. “Why would you want to do this and what would you offer that could make a difference?”
Clinton’s acknowledgment comes almost exactly six months since she told a crowd of businessmen at a Long Island country club she wouldn’t “begin thinking about it until sometime next year.”
At this rate, Mashable predicts an official Hillary 2016 announcement approximately six months from now — set your clocks for October 2014!
