I'm ready for all the coronation hype to die once she declines.

If you had asked me in 2012, I would have insisted she wouldn't run. It just didn't seem as likely then? I can't exactly explain what changed, but now, I think it's pretty obvious she's running.

What changed is that in 2012 she was consistently denying that she would run, and now she isn't.

I thought that was earlier in Obama's term. Even then there was no reason to take the denials at face value because she going to deny it even if she were running. Also, her denials were often non-denial denials. Think it's been clear since at least 2011 she'd run.

This is what she was saying as late as October 2012:


In a separate interview the same month, she said "I have ruled it out":
