NYC grass-roots get-together for Hillary Clinton

Hillary Clinton hasn’t yet announced whether she’ll run in 2016, but her uptown supporters have already made up their minds.

Rep. Carolyn Maloney will host a “Ready to Run” event at her Upper East Side home Monday for 70 Clinton grass-roots supporters. We hear one expected is longtime Clinton adviser Harold Ickes.

Maloney told us of the event, “It’s a difficult decision for Hillary as she’s given a great deal of her life to public service. But I think she’s the best qualified [candidate], so I’ve made up my mind.”

She said she’s also been asked to organize similar events in Brooklyn and Queens. Clinton’s also been called the pick of Democratic Hollywood bigwigs who’d abandoned her for Barack Obama.
