"I'm in. And I'm in to win." That was Hillary Clinton's message today as she took her first official step towards running for US president.

The former first lady has set up a presidential exploratory committee to sound out the possibilities of launching a full bid.

Her announcement comes just days after another favourite Democrat candidate, Senator Barack Obama, entered the presidential race.
