I hope she's starting a conversation with America.

"[Hillary Clinton] is scheduled to declare her second run for president on Twitter at noon eastern time on Sunday...  followed by a video and email announcement, then a series of conference calls mapping out a blitzkrieg tour beginning in Iowa and looking ahead to more early primary states."

My headline � which is what I said out loud on reading the news � is a reference to Hillary's last launch, in January 2007. As I wrote at the time, on first watching her video announcement:
It's all about the dialogue, the chat, the conversation:
I�m not just starting a campaign, though, I�m beginning a conversation � with you, with America. Because we all need to be part of the discussion if we�re all going to be part of the solution. And all of us have to be part of the solution.

Let�s talk about....

And let�s definitely talk about...

So let�s talk. Let�s chat. Let�s start a dialogue about your ideas and mine.

Because the conversation in Washington has been just just a little one-sided lately, don�t you think? And we can all see how well that works.

And while I can�t visit everyone�s living room, I can try. And with a little help from modern technology, I�ll be holding live online video chats this week, starting Monday.

So let the conversation begin. I have a feeling it�s going to be very interesting.
We've been talking with Hillary now for such a long, long time....
