Hillary Rodham Clinton, under an intense spotlight as a possible 2016 presidential candidate, told a San Francisco audience on Wednesday that a major reason to make a White House run would be "to advance the roles and opportunities of women and girls."
"If I decide to do it, I will talk about it every day," she told a sold-out crowd of 2,200 at the Orpheum Theatre in San Francisco, during a tour promoting her new book, "Hard Choices," a memoir of her years as secretary of state in the Obama administration.
"I have a set of experience ... and for my entire life, I've been an advocate for people who need a voice, need someone in their corner," she told KQED host Scott Shafer.
Clinton was greeted with a standing ovation and appeared at ease in a wide-ranging discussion, and she was unusually expansive about a possible White House run.

(6,241 posts)But I have my doubts. This is Texas, after all. We have sanity in places like Austin and Houston. But the rest of the state is pretty red. I guess we'll see.
Mom was at an event on Wednesday night, celebrating the 1 year anniversary of Wendy's filibuster. She was playing cheerleader, keeping everyone pumped up during the rally. It was really great to hear about it (I was working, and couldn't go).
