Hillary Clinton will begin “seriously” considering a bid for president “sometime next year,” the former secretary of state told a business group Friday.

According to Newsday, Clinton conceded during a paid speech to the Long Island Association that a run has been “on my mind.”

“I want to think seriously about it; I probably won't begin thinking about it until sometime next year," Clinton said of a presidential run. "I will think about it because it’s something on a lot of people's minds. And it's on my mind as well. But I want us to think more broadly."

Clinton is widely discussed as a potential Democratic frontrunner for the 2016 presidential election. But she said in her remarks that the attention being paid to the next set of possible candidates is “bad for the country.”

1. Clinton

No Thank You.

2. Could the anti-Clinton people get their venting out of the way early?

There's a lot of other stuff going on which we should probably et back to.

5. I'm sure Prince Andrew is chomping at the bit to enter the horse race if Hillary doesn't. nt

3. Oh, hell no

We have already had over 5 years of continuing way too many of bu$h's policies. We certainly don't need another 4 to 8 more years.
We need a real Democrat in the office of President. Not another DLC'er. Hillery is more hawkish than Obama.

We need to start voting for people that will balance the teeter totter. Not just voting for anyone because of name recondition.

4. Meh. /nt

[davidn3600]

6. Here come 8 more years of Bush policies

Another Washington insider elitist that won't change a damn thing.

[DesertRat]

7. woohoo!

[Beacool]

8. Let the hand wringing start.

9. I like all Democrats, let the competition begin.

12. Zell Miller...

Just because they're a "Democrat" doesn't make them worth your vote.

*Note: This is NOT a comment on Hillary.

[Kingofalldems]

13. There are a very few exceptions including any so-called Democrat (Miller)

who has ever endorsed a republican. Joe Lieberman comes to mind also.

10. Understatement. n/t

[FiveGoodMen]

11. I'll seriously consider voting for her

if I have no other choice.

And I won't consider myself a Democrat if that's who the party picks.

[progressoid]

14. Oh, yippy skippy

NOT

[mimi85]

15. I really don't

know why she would want to run. I'm seriously hoping she doesn't, for lots of reasons. Do we really need Bill roaming around the WH? Although he'll no doubt still be off on his "elder statesman" tour. Ha, let's hope Chelsea gets pregnant and Hill decides she wants to play Grandma. Somehow that scenario doesn't seem likely though. Sigh.

16. HRC, Queen of the Blue Dogs/Third Way/"New Democrats"/"Centrism"

[davidpdx]

17. I agree with her on one thing

Subbing the word attention for obsessing.

[pettypace]

18. I don't see anyone beating Obama in 2016

And I'm a constant critiquer of Obama but he's got too much poltiical clout to be stung by a minor-weight in Clinton.

I would go on the boss to say he'll win even it means it will be in 2016. Count on that much there.

19. I must have missed a meeting

or failed to get that memo?
