(19,537 posts)I've heard many people say that they "plan" to stay in their current job, but then tomorrow they might get the perfect opportunity on their doorstep and they give notice.
There are a lot of reasons for her to "plan" on staying as senator at that point. That doesn't mean if circumstances change, whatever circumstances they may be that govern her current plans, that she might change her plan to run or not to run. Many of us still want someone like her to run. We can speculate in many areas what her "circumstances" might be for running for president. And many of us will try to see if grass roots movements or the like can help update the landscape and circumstances so that she might look to run.
Many of us feel that no matter whether she really does plan or not plan to run, now is really NOT the time for her to announce that she's running. It doesn't do her any good to announce this early, and may do her harm with the PTB then loading up their weapons to shut her down as soon as possible. Better to wait to have defenses better prepared for that, and not be the "distraction" from 2014 election efforts that many would complain about if she were to announce before this election.
