There certainly will be Democratic primary elections.

44. Again, she doesn't have to announce...she's saving and accumulating campaign money and staff.

I agree totally with MM...every day no one emerges, she gets stronger.

I think of it as needing the time/name/large donors and campaign framework. That doesn't happen overnight. I suspect that for once, it's the Rs that are chopping themselves up, and the Ds...those at the national level at least...see an opportunity to win and may even privately be discouraging any sign of real competition at this point.

Jeb Bush, who I think is the only candidate who could win, or steal the election, is the second case of the Rs shooting themselves in the foot over ideology. My heart warms at the thought of debates between Hillary and Scott Walker. And Julian Castro (Harvard and I think Yale educated) and whichever other R nincompoop who gets the VP nod.

Our candidates may not be perfect, but they are intelligent and polished.

And yes, she's running. The big Emily's List speech was the public start of shoring up her base.
