Hillary Clinton fundraising launched in US for 2016[/font]

Barack Obama's former campaign chief has thrown the financial muscle of the biggest liberal fundraising group behind Hillary Clinton in a move that marks the beginning of the money race for the 2016 presidential election.

Jim Messina said that Priorities USA Action, which played a key role in Mr Obama’s election success in 2012, has started start raising funds for a prospective presidential run by the former First Lady.

‘Ready for Hillary’ campaign fills war chest for 2016 run

The shadow campaign to support a Hillary Clinton run for the White House has stepped up a gear, with organisers appealing for donations from supporters of her 2008 presidential bid.

The unofficial Ready For Hillary group, which has been cheerleading and amassing a database of grassroots supporters for almost a year, said that as a result, it had enjoyed the biggest online fundraising day in its short history.

Ironically, people who claim to want to "get money out politics" keep giving money to politicians. Tierra_y_Libertad Feb 2014 #5

to do so would be to unilaterally disarm which would be stupid when the other guy is arming up. Pretzel_Warrior Feb 2014 #14

And, you expect politicians you give money to are going to stop you from giving money to them? Tierra_y_Libertad Feb 2014 #16

Yes, it will take a Democratic majority in all three branches to make that happen. It may even take okaawhatever Feb 2014 #24

that would be terrific if we can get the Constitution amended Pretzel_Warrior Feb 2014 #26

My concern is coverage from the media if the issue comes close to having enough states to ratify. okaawhatever Feb 2014 #28

I think that is a good point because the urgency is imminent. nt arthritisR_US Feb 2014 #6

Total BS - Ed is not keeping up with the news. nt DURHAM D Feb 2014 #7

Oh?... and what "news" are you keeping up with? bvar22 Feb 2014 #35

Looks like you are not keeping up either DURHAM D Feb 2014 #36

LOL.... Ahh yeah... bvar22 Feb 2014 #38

Good. DURHAM D Feb 2014 #40

Maybe not... DonViejo Feb 2014 #10

Well that would still siphon money on a delayed basis Armstead Feb 2014 #20

I quit giving to the Democratic party years ago, when they started trashing the base. loudsue Feb 2014 #11

Debbie Wasserman Schultz? bvar22 Feb 2014 #39

No. DURHAM D Feb 2014 #41

What Democrats did she refuse to endorse, bvar22? ... DonViejo Feb 2014 #42

Debbie Wassrman-Schultz refused to endorse these 3 Florida Democrats in the 2008 elections: bvar22 Feb 2014 #43

Wow and damn bvar22! DonViejo Feb 2014 #44

The Wasserman-Schultz betrayal of the Democratic Party got overlooked by the National Media bvar22 Feb 2014 #47

Yes. DWS is a tool. loudsue Feb 2014 #48

If true, it would be pretty stupid. TheMathieu Feb 2014 #12

See article posted below Armstead Feb 2014 #18

not even remotely true. Ready For Hillary raised $4 million in all of 2013. In 2010 Midterms Pretzel_Warrior Feb 2014 #13

That was before the current campaign kicked in Armstead Feb 2014 #17

the money isn't going to get into her coffers in a big way until she announces something Pretzel_Warrior Feb 2014 #19

I think it's a little more complex - TBF Feb 2014 #15

How concerning. nt msanthrope Feb 2014 #25

yep. I am going to go light my hair on fire and run around outside Pretzel_Warrior Feb 2014 #27

Nobody's asking you to light your hair on fire Armstead Feb 2014 #29

in your OP you seemed to be in stage 1 freak out mode. Republicans got WAY more SuperPac money than Pretzel_Warrior Feb 2014 #31

I don't go into freakout mode (usually)...But I am more than a little nervous about 2014 Armstead Feb 2014 #32

I guess we should just leapfrog over the 2014 election? Armstead Feb 2014 #30

Indeed...that is concerning. Who, pray tell, did you have in mind? nt msanthrope Feb 2014 #33

Trees... Armstead Feb 2014 #45

As POTUS, with both houses of Congress being a Republican majority. Snotcicles Feb 2014 #34

No worries from this quarter, Ed. She won't get a cent from me. Enthusiast Feb 2014 #37

Yes, really good point flamingdem Feb 2014 #46
