Former Clinton Aides Launch New Super PAC

From NBC News - "Former aides to Bill and Hillary Clinton are launching a new super PAC to upgrade Democratic organizing and fundraising in support of the party's candidates around the country, NBC News has learned."

Howz about that? The Dems win a couple races they were expected to win and next thing you know Hillary is back.

That super pac doesn't mean she's going to run again. It means that she will go out and raise money for the Democrats who will run next year. Biden has one, as do many retired Senators.

Nothing new or unusual about it. Lots of former politicians have done the same thing. Mitt, George W. and his bro Jeb, Palin, and dozens of others have super pacs. They all use them to raise money for the cause.

It takes money to run a campaign. There was once a time when a party's Central Committee was the party bank, and all donations came into and went out through them, but that's long gone now. The Central Committees of both parties are always strapped for cash and the super pacs, which have far fewer restrictions, are now both party's financeers.
