The trip to Iowa,
where a third-place finish in 2008 ultimately led to the collapse of her
presidential aspirations, illustrates what aides say is a commitment to
not take anything for granted in her second bid for the White House,
even though she dominates the likely Democratic field in 2016.
Clinton
has already filmed her campaign video, a person close to the campaign
said, which outlines the central themes of her second bid for the White
House. The message is intended to send a signal to Democrats that she
intends to aggressively fight for the party's presidential nomination.
A new epilogue of her book, "Hard Choices," an excerpt of which was released Friday to the Huffington Post,
offers a glimpse into why she is embarking on another presidential
campaign. She writes about her new granddaughter, Charlotte, and calls
for equal opportunity for her generation.
"Becoming
a grandmother has made me think deeply about the responsibility we all
share as stewards of the world we inherit and will one day pass on,"
Clinton, 68, writes in the epilogue. "Rather than make me want to slow
down, it has spurred me to speed up."
The
decision will sweep aside more than a year of speculation about her
political aspirations and allow her to start making her case to voters.
Advisers say she knows that Democratic activists are not interested in a
coronation and she intends to campaign as though she has a tough
primary challenge.
Central
to Clinton's second presidential run will be reintroducing the former
first lady -- on her own terms -- to the American people. Democrats
close to Clinton have started to call her the most unknown famous person
in the world. Their argument is that people know of Clinton -- she has
near 100% name recognition in most polls -- but they don't know her
story.
Republicans wasted no time Friday going on the offensive, with a paid online ad, called "Stop Hillary," in six presidential battleground states.
"From
the East Wing to the State Department, Hillary Clinton has left a trail
of secrecy, scandal and failed liberal policies that no image
consultant can erase," Republican National Committee Chairman Reince
Priebus said in an emailed statement. Voters want to elect someone they
can trust and Hillary's record proves that she cannot be trusted. We
must 'Stop Hillary.'"
Clinton is
expected to trade big rallies for a series of smaller events with
voters, as she seeks to reintroduce herself to voters. Her supporters
have urged Clinton to take the time to meet voters one-on-one and build
their trust.
"The views about women
candidates and how they should conduct themselves has really changed
since 2008," said Bonnie Campbell, the co-chair of Clinton's 2008
campaign in Iowa. "First and foremost people vote for candidates that
they like, people who connect with them emotionally. I think that helps
with everybody but certainly it helps with women and the men who love
them. It just makes her a more complete person."
Clinton's presidential campaign has long been a foregone conclusion, and
speculation that she would take another shot at the White House has
followed the former first lady since she left the State Department in
early 2013.
For much of the last two
years, Clinton has crisscrossed the country delivering paid speeches,
selling her new memoir and stumping for Democrats during the 2014
midterm elections.
In the coming weeks
and months, the Clinton campaign will look to hone in on that story,
using themes such as Clinton's Midwestern upbringing, her mother's
perseverance in the face of neglectful parents and Clinton's own time
raising a daughter to cast the presidential hopeful in a more favorable,
softer light than she was seen during her 2008 presidential run.
Campbell
said she saw voters in Iowa light up when they connected with Clinton
in coffee shops and in their homes, but those events were few and far
between compared to large rallies and speeches. She said Clinton's
empathetic side was not seen nearly enough during her 2008 campaign.
"Somehow, that did not come through in Iowa," Campbell said.
But
her efforts to introduce herself come as Clinton is fighting fresh
questions about her trust and honesty. The controversy about using a
private email server while Secretary of State has already caused some
political damage, her aides concede, which is one of the reasons she is
jumping into the race to start campaigning on her own terms.
March found Clinton at the center of her own controversy over her exclusive use of private -- rather than official -- email
during her time running the State Department. The controversy, again
seized on by Republican critics, escalated, and Clinton took to a
quickly organized press conference at the United Nations to respond to
controversy.
