WASHINGTON -- Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton hits
Chicago on June 13 to be honored by CURE, the epilepsy research
foundation -- this while a new poll and the start Wednesday of a new
chapter in her life are sparking even more speculation about a 2016
White House bid.
CURE -- Citizens for Research in Epilepsy -- was founded by President
Barack Obama's former top strategist David Axelrod, and his wife,
Susan, 15 years ago; their daughter, Lauren, has epilepsy.
Clinton, then the first lady, was the draw at the group's very first
fund-raising dinner and the boost from her star power was "instrumental
in getting us started," Axelrod told me.

deliver remarks for the CURE fund-raiser at a time when guessing about a
future presidential run is the top political sport.
