Hillary Clinton Now Open to Running for President, According to Esoteric Shoulder Gesture

Hillary Clinton tries to hide her intention to run for president in 2016, but during a Q&A at Wellesley College today, her shoulders betrayed her, according a Boston Herald analysis:

“If you get elected as the next president ... ” began a woman from Yemen, who was interrupted by nearly 25 seconds of applause from the friendly crowd at Clinton’s alma mater today.

Clinton shook her head multiple times, but as the cheers grew, shrugged her shoulders in a “hey-you-never-know” gesture of possibility, then began chuckling heartily.

It doesn't get any more explicit than that.
