Clinton advisers are split on when Hillary Clinton should …

"I'm in it to win it," she said in a YouTube video posted on January 21, 2007.

But even though a second Hillary Clinton for president campaign is all but certain, she and those close to her are debating when she should jump in the race, potentially delaying her entry by months.

There is no waiting for Republicans, who are engaged in a furious behind-the-scenes scramble for advisers and donors. Mitt Romney, Republicans' nominee in 2012, announced Friday he would bow out after just three weeks on the presidential speculation treadmill. Three Republican senators, two current governors and one former governor have all made active moves toward campaigns.

There could be ten or more Republican candidates by this summer. That might be when Hillary Clinton gets around to officially moving toward a campaign, if she heeds some confidantes, who are privately arguing for an announcement in July to coincide with the start of the third fundraising quarter. Delaying until the summer is an idea that is said to be gaining momentum against those who want to stick to the plan for an April start date.

The possibility of the delay is very real but still unsettled.

"I would say it's 40 percent," in the direction of those arguing for a delay, said one Democrat who supports a spring debut for Clinton's presidential campaign. Another Democrat who saw merits in both time lines put the odds of a delay at 50 percent.

Democrats on both sides of the debate spoke to CNN on the condition of anonymity so they could make their case without upsetting Clinton or those close to her for talking openly about internal deliberations.

Some Clinton loyalists worry that as the increasingly crowded Republican race heats up, the attacks on her could begin to stick without an apparatus in place to answer them.

The liberal superPAC American Bridge has been countering Republican attacks on Clinton's behalf but many Democrats think it's no substitute for a campaign messaging operation.

"They're doing terrific research," said one, "but they don't know what her specific policy agenda is going to be. She should get in and start putting together a substantive policy agenda so the attacks that are going to begin to come from every single Republican who is jumping in to the race can be answered."

Hillary Clinton, grandma-in-chief

Hillary Clinton is embracing her inner grandma.

After Republican 2016 hopefuls spent a day struggling to finesse the vaccination debate, the 67-year-old Clinton weighed in roughly an hour before midnight: The science is clear, she tweeted late Monday. The earth is round, the sky is blue, and #vaccineswork. Lets protect all our kids. #GrandmothersKnowBest.

It was just 127 characters, but it struck a chord especially her new hashtag. By Tuesday evening the tweet had garnered roughly 24,000 retweets reaching millions of Twitter followers and making it her most-shared tweet since she jabbed Fox during February 2014s Super Bowl.

The Monday night tweet was just her sixth in 2015, but some of her backers felt it might shed new light on her candidacy.

The message offered a look at how Clinton might approach her likely 2016 campaign for the White House and how she might combat Republican attacks on her age.

While Clinton allies and detractors uniformly cautioned that too much of her strategy should not be inferred from a single late-night tweet, her backers also said the post demonstrated her intention to use her family specifically, her 4-month-old granddaughter, Charlotte as an important strand of her campaign message. It also hinted at how she intends to try to garner positive press and present herself as the adult in the room as the crowded Republican field dukes it out.

It does tap into something that is potentially really powerful for her in terms of how she connects, and how she communicates, said Chris Lehane, a Democratic strategist and alum of President Bill Clintons White House. When she offers a theory of government and connects it to her biography, in particular being a mom and a grandma, and talking about intergenerational equity issues and the possibility to do right by your kids the combination there is a really, really powerful way to communicate.

Clinton first trotted out her granddaughter as a character in her 2014 stump speech while campaigning for Democrats across the country, using the infant Charlotte as a justification for her continued investment in the countrys future. The 4-month-old Charlotte has been featured in more than a dozen of Clintons public appearances, making her a staple.

When you have this little baby, you spend a lot of time just staring at her. You really resolve, as her parents and grandparents [to] do whatever we can to make sure she has the opportunities she deserves to have, Clinton said in New Hampshire in November.
