From ABC News:

Jan. 20, 2007 — The following statement was posted on Sen. Hillary Clinton’s Web site, D-NY, on Saturday to announce her bid for president.

I’m in. And I’m in to win.

Today I am announcing that I will form an exploratory committee to run for president.

And I want you to join me not just for the campaign but for a conversation about the future of our country — about the bold but practical changes we need to overcome six years of Bush administration failures.

I am going to take this conversation directly to the people of America, and I’m starting by inviting all of you to join me in a series of web chats over the next few days.

There is a lot more of course but you can read that over there for yourself.

Also in the style of Obama, Hillary has released her announcement video on her site. She unfortunately did so in a way which does not allow me to embed it (I tried anyway). You can click below to watch it.

Updated: Someone ‘tube her announcement so here it is now:

Hot Air has more on the matter as does Political Buzz.
