Hillary Clintons Team Sets Up Shop in Brooklyn

Hillary Clinton isnt officially a candidate for president.

Yet she has a campaign staff, fundraisers eager to raise millions of dollars on her behalf and now, it seems, a campaign headquarters.

Mrs. Clintons team has signed a lease for office space in downtown Brooklyn, N.Y., a person familiar with the matter said Friday.

Her advisers believe the location is a symbolic one far removed from the Washington beltway crowd, if not exactly plunk in the middle of the heartland.

When she ran for president in 2008, Mrs. Clintons headquarters was just outside D.C. in Northern Virginia. That race didnt go so well. Mrs. Clinton, once the prohibitive front-runner in 2008, wound up losing to then-freshman Sen. Barack Obama. Clearly, Mrs. Clinton wants to make some changes this time around and new digs are a start.

So, all thats left for Mrs. Clinton to do is declare shes actually running. That announcement is expected in mid-April.

The Clinton campaign headquarters will be at One Pierrepont Plaza in Brooklyn Heights, the person familiar with the matter said.
