By targeting the battleground state of Florida and the votes of Young Americans, it looks like one contender may be out of the gate for the Presidential Race 2016.

Hillary Clinton is planning to visit the perennial battleground state of Florida next month, prompting more speculation about her presidential ambitions in 2016.

The University of Miami announced Clinton will visit the campus on February 26, to address students, faculty and “invited guests” in the critical swing state.

Will there be any well-heeled Democratic donors among those “invited guests?” We wouldn’t bet against it.

Clinton’s connection to UM runs deeper than the mere fact that it happens to be in Florida. The university is led by Donna Shalala–a long-time personal friend of the Clintons who served as Secretary of Health and Human Services under Bill Clinton.

Shalala has served as the president of UM since 2001.

The timing of Hillary’s visit to the south Florida campus is telling, especially considering her previous campaign history.

The Miami New Times reports that the last time Hillary Clinton visited the University of Miami was in 2008, near the end of her failed presidential run that year.
