Do you expect...

That's a subjective definition.  Define the begin of a Presidential race and I'd have more to say.

When the "buzz" starts swirling around it, when potential candidates names are starting to get mentioned, when the candidates themselves start thinking about it

I'd say that's already happened.

when the media starts getting head over heels about it

Other than maybe a few focus pieces during the times heading up to the election, I imagine that it won't be the very next day.

Hillary Clinton's 2008 presidential race began on November 4th, 1992.

Long before then.

Actually, I guess you could say it began on Election Day 1980 when her husband Bill was elected governor of Arkansas.  A 28-year long Presidential Campaign that is not a guarantee to end in the White House.

Why start there; why not say that it began on October 26, 1947 when Hillary was born?

Or even January 26, given that it's obvious she would have been plotting her ascension to the throne right from conception.

You think she'd leave that to chance? So naive and yet so charming...when did her parents meet and more importantly, who set them up?

The shocking answer:  Hillary Rodham Clinton.
