The "Who is running?" tea leaves thread (Part 2)

[Brewer]

We need a pro-marijuana legalization candidate to announce on April 20th.

Or a pro-tax candidate to announce on April 15th.

Or Donald Trump to announce on April 1st.

[Flake]

Sanders just sent out a very presidential email, if anyone is interested, I'll give some more quotes if anyone is interested, but this is the part I found most interesting.

It's titled "Help Make a Political Revolution".

[Senator Cris]

Carly Fiorina says the chances of her running for President are higher than 90%.
She'll announce on late April/early May.

It would be hilarious if Hillary announced on April 7, just to completely overshadow Rand Paul on his big day.

It would be pretty funny if Hillary crashed Paul or Rubio's party by announcing around the same time.

[Ebsy]

I have a feeling she is going to go a couple days after Paul so the media can use the intervening period to declare him the front runner and then do an about face and say he has a 0% chance of winning the nomination.

[The Other Castro]

I don't think Clinton will announce before Rubio, so after April 13th. Not the day after, and then not the 15th since it's Tax Day and she might not like that coincidence. Also not April 20th because lol 420 marijuana. My random guess is either April 17th, the date she announced she was going to be a grandmother, or April 22nd, the date she won the Pennsylvania primary to keep her 2008 run alive for a little longer.

[RogueBeaver]

NYT on the Jeb/Walker contrast.

[Mr. Morden]

WSJ says Clinton will announce her 2016 intention in "mid-April", while O'Malley will announce his "later in the spring":

Mid would mean 10th-20th presumably. Would be hilarious to see her crash Rubio's party.

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Hopefully she's decided not to run. Highly unlikely, I know. But possible.

[Free Bird]

Can't help but notice the article says intention.

[Mr. Morden]

Can't help but notice the article says intention.

No.  I used the word "intention" in my one sentence summary, but the actual text from the article says this on Clinton and O'Malley:

I think it's fairly clear, WSJ...unless you're blind.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Rubio is on The Five, and just confirmed he's announcing something on April 13th, but didn't elaborate on what of course.

I'm increasingly thinking that Huck won't run. This delay and him becoming a diabetes treatment spokesman confirms my thought.

The possibilities are clear, but who will actually run, well, not so much.

Sanders - 50/50 chance
O'Malley - Very Likely
Hillary - Very Likely
Biden - Unlikely
Warren - No for now, but the current devoted draft effort could convince her to change her mind.
Webb - Likely
Some other candidate - Unlikely

[Ebsy]

If Clinton waits until after Rubio announces, say the 17th, the media will spend the intervening days obsessing over her entry and every mention of Marco Rubio will be accompanied by Hillary Clinton.

[Mr. Morden]

Clinton operatives are scouting the early states:

Washington Post: 72% of Americans think Hillary will run, but 58% do not want her to run, and 51% say she does not have "qualifications to be President".

That's the Washington Times, not the Washington Post (big difference.) And unsurprisingly, they are incorrect about the poll's findings. It says 42-41 that people want Hillary to run, with every other candidate deep underwater (ex: Biden is at 27-49, O'Malley is at 9-33.)

Also, I don't think this is relevant to the "who is running" thread.
