WASHINGTON—Veterans of President Barack Obama's (click here) two presidential campaigns are signing up
to help a Democratic group supporting a potential Hillary Rodham Clinton
presidential campaign. The Ready for Hillary super PAC says it
has hired a Democratic firm called 270 Strategies to oversee grassroots
organizing, volunteer training and recruitment. The firm was started by
former Obama campaign aides who oversaw the president's campaign in 2008
when he defeated Clinton in the Democratic primaries—and his 2012
re-election.
The pro-Clinton group does not have direct ties
to the former secretary of state but is trying to lay the foundation of
volunteers and supporters to help Clinton if she runs for president.
Clinton has not said whether she'll seek the White House in 2016 but is the early front-runner among Democrats.
