To provide the leadership they know they need to restore balance and a hoped for reprieve from their growing poverty.
Someone they can believe will not betray them, that will help enable them to fight for themselves and the life they were promised in their youth, before the wealth began to be drained from them and into the coffers of the Oligarchs.
Perhaps she will step up, if she does I believe the army that had hoped Obama would be that one, will follow her, and this army will be even larger, having grown in the shadows just as desperation and poverty have grown from then until now.
If she does not "sell them out" as so many now fear of all politicians, even the oligarchs will not be able to stop them or her.
With the right leadership, a return to the values that grew this country from the mid thirties until the seventies can be reborn.
There are many ifs, and much to be placed on any leaders shoulders, but she may well be the right person at the right time just as FDR was in his time.
Not to be an alarmist, but if someone does not lead us in a positive fashion it will only be a matter of time before too much poverty and injustice will be visited upon us, and what will happen is what always happens when a population grows too hungry and desperate - revolution and bloodshed that only a sociopath would prefer.
Let us hope brother, things are getting pretty bad out here, we need leadership and a fair deal for the discounted majority in this country.
