The cause of the derailment has not been determined. Turning now to politics here at home, torlt tomorrow is the big day for Hillary Clinton, former secretary of state and first lady is expected to announce online shes running for president. Nancy cordes has more. Im back. Reporter for months the big question has been not if clinton would get in the race but when and she has happily stoked the flames. Ive got a few things on my mind these days. Reporter initially clinton considered waiting until this summer to might official but then came the controversy about her email use as secretary of state. I opted for convenience to use my personal email account which was allowed by the state department. Reporter advisers saw she needed to change the conversation and that her wouldbe opponents werent waiting to take her on. Hillary clinton embodies the corruption of washington. Reporter clintons first bid eight year aegs kicked off with a simple video. Im not just starting a campaign though. Im beginning a conversation with you, with america.

Longtime clinton loyalists will work alongside veterans of the obama campaign. In her last scheduled appearance nearly three weeks ago, clinton joked she herself will be more accessful to the press this time. So here it goes. No more secrecy. No more zone of privacy. After all, what good did that do me. Reporter clinton has already hired some of the obama campaigns data gurus who gave them such a huge edge with online fundraising. Thats another reason shes announcing her candidacy now because she cant pay them until she makes it official and starts to raise money from supporters. For cbs this Morning Saturday, im nancy cordes in washington. Even though it was expected Hillary Clintons entrance into the president ial race for 2016 will obviously shake things up on the campaign trail. Bob costas is the National Political reporter from the washington post. He joins us from the Washington Bureau. Bob, good morning. Good morning. Bob what does she need to do differently this time . Atz they often say in politics personnel is poll sichl and because secretary clinton is as nancy said surrounding herself with a lot of obama advisers shes cached herself as that. Its unlikely she ee going to face a stiff opponent but it seems theres a handful o of lower profile people who might be running. Who do you think may be running against her . Some thing Vice President biden. Many hope senator of massachusetts Elizabeth Warren would do so. Former mayor omalley jim webb and even Lincoln Chafee hes throne his thrown his hat in the ring throw they dont have much connection to polls. Im sure the republicans will try to tie her to the president and say its another obama termg. How does she distance herself from that . Shes really looking at her record as secretary of state as something thats distinctive but also aligned with president obama. On the domestic policy front, she wants to be more in step with the left wing of her party. When she was in the white housing she and president clinton were very associated with wall street friendly with banks, and she has that reputation still with Many Democrats but what weve seen in recent speeches and appearances is an aggressive and popular Hillary Clinton, something we havent seen before in races. Time and time again we receive how her husband bill clinton is a master at campaigning. What role could he play in all this . Secretary clinton has said according to her confidante she considers her husband to be a real asetsset, a key assistant. We could have more on the republican side of things here. At what point does Hillary Clinton start running against the variety of candidates she may face . She already is. If you look at her twitter account, shes running against the congressional gop. She really believes the Republican Party during the obama era has moved far to the right and she believes that provides her with a new target as she starts her campaign. Look for her not to run against competitors but against Republican Party, a party she thinks has lurched rightward. I want to ask about fundraising. I heard one say all the horses have lined up at the gates. Theyre waiting for the gates to open. What do you think will happen especially since this is on social media. Shes going to do fun. I spoke to some of the top finance people in the democratic party. They say because the whole financial world has changed in politics, because super pacs can accept unlimited donations, they believe secretary clinton is poised to have 100 million, perhaps even a billion in the course of the campaign through the general election. She proved in 2008 she can raise a ton of money. And republicans are all going to be split. Clinton because she doesnt have a real primary will be able to raise a lot for the pry may and do so quickly. Great insight from bob costas in washington. Thank you so much bob.
