Schumer: ‘Run, Hillary, Run!’

Sen. Chuck Schumer endorses Hillary Clinton for president (Los Angeles Times)

No announcement? No problem. Sen. Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) has endorsed Hillary Rodham Clinton for president whether she's running or not.

Clinton, the former secretary of State and a former senator representing New York, is a presumed favorite for the Democratic nomination for president in 2016. She sought the nomination in 2008, losing to Barack Obama.

That is, she's favored in 2016 if she chooses to run -- which she hasn't as of yet.

Nonetheless, Schumer was moving full speed ahead on her behalf Saturday night in front of several hundred Democratic supporters at the Iowa Democratic Party’s Jefferson Jackson dinner in Des Moines.
