Obama Campaign Manager In Talks To Head Hillary Clinton Project

[Beacool]

Jim Messina and Clinton advisor John Podesta would lead the next iteration of the super PAC, Priorities USA. “The missing piece” in a Hillary machine under rapid construction.

Jim Messina and John Podesta, top former aides to Barack Obama and Bill Clinton respectively, are currently in talks to co-chair a board backing Hillary Clinton — a plan that, should it come to fruition, would be a dramatic early symbol of party unity behind the former secretary of state.

Three sources with knowledge of the plans said Messina, an Obama insider who ran the president’s campaign last year, and Podesta, a longtime advisor to Bill Clinton, are in discussions to join the board of Priorities USA, the multimillion-dollar super PAC that backed President Obama’s reelection effort last year.

The men would chair a board of former elected officials and donors who would announce their support for Clinton’s possible White House bid in 2016. Messina’s presence, in particular, would signal that key Obama loyalists have lined up behind Clinton and are ready to essentially forgo a primary.

Nothing is final yet, but the fact that it's even a possibility belies the media's effort to create a fake rift between Obama and Bill. Two Obama campaign aides joined Ready for Hillary this summer. Mitch Stewart coordinated the Obama campaign’s 2012 battleground state strategy and Jeremy Bird was the campaign's national field director.

3. I agree about 2014.

I posted this because for the last two days around here it has been nothing but poutage over Bill's comment about the ACA, never mind that he has repeatedly spoken in favor of it. The media went wild, they dissect anything said by either Clinton with a scalpel. They are desperate to create friction and drama between them and Obama, where none exists.
