Unlike Ted Cruz and Rand Paul, the two Republicans who so far have officialized their 2016 bid for the White House, Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton is unlikely to make a splashy announcement before a big crowd when she finally jumps into the race, the Washington Post reported.

Nor will the former secretary of State be taking a cue from Cruz's and Paul's Senate colleague, Marco Rubio, who is planning what the Post called a "glitzy Monday evening launch in front of the iconic Freedom Tower in Miami."

Rather, Clinton's campaign kickoff might come in the form of a tweet, a video or a Facebook post, the newspaper speculated, in an attempt "to address some of the key shortcomings of Clinton's 2008 run for the White House, when she often came off as flat and overly scripted before large crowds."

Terry Shumaker, who was part of Clinton's 2008 camp and also co-chaired a campaign for her husband, former President Bill Clinton, said he supported the former New York senator's on-the-ground approach.

"It's important that she campaign directly with real voters and avail herself of the opportunity that New Hampshire offers to talk with individual citizens," he said, "and not to stand up on some stage and talk at them."

The first-in-the-nation primary state is indeed where Clinton is headed once her presidential ambitions are set in stone; the candidate also plans to meet voters in other early caucus and primary locations, including Iowa, South Carolina and Nevada, the Washington Post detailed.

The Hawkeye State, whose caucuses will kick off the 2016 White House race (presumably in early February of that year), may be a particular concern for the Clinton camp -- also in terms of the general election, Politico noted.

The former secretary is almost tied with every Republican presidential hopeful there, and only 45 percent of Iowans view her favorably -- a 4 percentage-point slip from the previous month, a Quinnipiac University poll showed.

Peter Brown, the survey's assistant director, called the results "ominous" for the Democrat.

"It isn't just one or two Republicans who are stepping up," Brown warned. "It's virtually the entire GOP field that is running better against her."
