John Podesta joins Clinton campaign: What that means for Hillary 2016 (+video)

The Clinton 2016 camp is growing.

John Podesta, a senior White House adviser for President Obama, will step down from his post next month to serve in a senior role in Hillary Clinton's likely 2016 presidential bid, the Wall Street Journal first reported Tuesday.

Mr. Podesta, who served as Chief of Staff in former President Bill Clinton's second term, would likely take on the role of a campaign manager, according to reports, sending signals about Clinton's nascent campaign.

In Democratic circles, Podesta is a heavyweight.

"Few figures in the Democratic Party constellation carry as much intellectual heft as Mr Podesta," concluded the UK's Independent.

After serving under Mr. Clinton, he founded the Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank in Washington, DC. The Obama administration brought him on as a special counselor to the President about a year ago to help reinvigorate Mr. Obama's political fortunes.

Podesta has counseled Obama in both foreign and domestic policy, advising him on matters including Ebola, immigration, and climate change. He was the surprise force behind negotiations with the Chinese government aimed at reducing greenhouse-gas emissions.

He is, as Politico once put it, "the quintessential Washington wise man."

Which is why Clinton is bringing him on her team.

And a Podesta hire sends clear signals.

Elizabeth Warrens big no: Is the field clear for Hillary Clinton?

It was Jeb Bush who kicked everything off.

As soon as the former Florida governor and establishment hopeful began making overt moves towards a presidential candidacy, all the other potential candidates naive timetables for casual late-spring/summer announcements jumped up a few months. Mitt Romney went from nowheresville to Please please please dont forget about me, rich donor people! overnight. Rep. Paul Ryan decided hed be better off attending to his duties as Ways and Means chairman after Romney made his intentions clear.Chris Christie, for whom there may not be enough space left, is nevertheless moving forward with the preparation of money receptacles.

Over in the Real Conservative/Evangelical bracket, Mike Huckabee quit his Fox News show in preparation for a run centered around insultingBeyonc.The 2012 GOP presidential primary runner-up, ex-Sen. Rick Santorum, is ready to go, dismissing his rivals in the nutcase corner as bomb-throwers.Rand Paul is putting things together, as is Ted Cruz.Scott Walker, Rick Perry, John Kasich, Mike Pence, Bobby Jindal, Ben Carson (go Ben!) and approximately 6,534 other candidates that I cant think of right now have yet to make their decisions. Marco Rubio yes.Theres a cattle call in Iowa next weekend, hosted by Rep. Steve King. Its all happening.

Do you notice something similar about all of the candidates above? Theyre all dudes correct. But theyre also all Republicans. This general rundown of presidential candidate news was not intended to focus solely on the Republican side; it was supposed to encompass all the movements on each side. And it does. Its just that there is nothing happening on the Democratic side.

Well, maybe there is one thing.And it speaks volumes to the lack of drama in the 2016 Democratic presidential nominating contest that this one thing, this extraordinarily tiny development, could put an end to the possibility of any drama arising on the Democratic side through the presidential primary season. It is this two-line bit of dialogue from a new Fortune magazine Q&A:

[FORTUNE:] So are you going to run for President?

[ELIZABETH WARREN:] No.

There it is, everyone! The last twinkle of drama and serious doubt about the outcome of the Democratic presidential nominating process disappeared when Sen. Elizabeth Warren offered a flat no to a future-tense query about whether she will run for president. Previously she had kept her responses to the present tense I am not running leaving the window cracked open one tenth of an inch that she wouldbe running in the future. Now we have:

[FORTUNE:] So are you going to run for President?

[ELIZABETH WARREN:] No.
