(Photo : Reuters) Both former Secretary of state, Hillary Clinton and senator Elizabeth Warren, democrat from Massachusetts have been in play as contenders for the presidential election 2016. But both also keep their cards close to their bodies.
At his current visit to some Middle East countries former President Bill Clinton was yesterday asked if he would support his wife Hillary Clinton if she decides running for President at the election presumably to be held place at November 8, 2016.
First Clinton just looked into the air. Then he got that little smile in his eyes that characterize the charismatic former president.

"Well", he said to CNN, paused and then added: "I will support Hillary in any decision she takes".
The reporter tried again: "But will Hillary run in 2016". This time Bills C. just looked at the reporter. Smiled and said nothing.
So not much fuel for speculations here.
The other female candidate that has been mentioned as a possible contender, Elizabeth Warren, senator for the democrats in Massachusetts, was last Friday attending a meeting at Neetroots Nation, where she took the stand for the first time after a group called "Ready for Warren" announced their support for her as the coming President of the United States.
The supporters, who were at the meeting in great numbers, handed out hats, signs and stickers with "Warren for President" to the attendees.
During her speech they were chanting "Run Liz, Run"
However, it didn't seem as Warren herself had much approval for this.
Her spokeswoman later told The Huffington Post, that she doesn't acknowledge the calls to run for president.
During the meeting she simply urged the crowd to sit down every time they jumped up to applaud her.
This is not so unusual when top politicians are asked if they run for a higher position.
Often they prefer to keep their cards close to their bodies, until a final decision is made and the ground is thoroughly examined.
The campaigns and the speculations about who will be the next leader of the western world have already started long ago.
