Geee Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Examiner: U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., wants Hillary Clinton to run for president in 2016 and on Tuesday joined a group of activists hoping to make that happen. The pro-Clinton Super PAC Ready for Hillary announced that McCaskill, who backed President Obama in 2008 over Clinton, was behind the former first lady and secretary of State this time around. "Hillary Clinton had to give up her political operation while she was making us proud, representing us around the world as an incredible secretary of state, and that's why Ready for Hillary is so critical," McCaskill said. "It's important that we start early, building a grassroots army from the ground up, and effectively using the tools of the Internet — all things that President Obama did so successfully — so that if Hillary does decide to run, we'll be ready to help her win."

Geee Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 Democrats start transition from President Obama to Hillary Clinton Democrats in Washington are starting to shift from the Obamas to the Clintons. Hillary Clinton has already racked up a couple of endorsements for the 2016 presidential race — and she hasn’t even announced she’s running yet. Requests are flooding in for the former secretary of State to campaign for candidates. Of course, President Obama remains the most sought-after figure, but his star power could fade in the coming months as the chatter about his successor intensifies. His approval rating has fallen as his administration has grappled with a variety of controversies ranging from IRS overreach to government snooping.“The political focus of the Democratic Party will shift to Hillary, and in some ways it has already,” said former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell (D), who, as a staunch Clinton supporter, has an interest in seeing his forecast come true. He noted that while Obama will be the policy leader of the party, there will be an “inherent transition” politically to the person Democrats see as the next leader. http://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/306719-dems-start-transition-from-obama-to-clinton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
