Obama Super PAC Morphs Into Hillary Super PAC

Buffy Wicks, a senior Democrat operative at the pro-war Center for American Progress run by Clintonista John Podesta, is gearing up to run the Iron Maiden as president in 2016.

From CNN:

The main super PAC that supported President Barack Obama’s 2012 re-election is scheduled to announce new hires Friday, as the group works towards transforming itself into a key super PAC for a possible Hillary Clinton 2016 presidential campaign.

According to a Democratic source with knowledge of the moves by Priorities USA, the super PAC will announce that Buffy Wicks, a veteran field organizer who was a top staffer in the Obama re-election campaign, will become the group’s executive director. Jonathan Mantz, an experienced Democratic fundraiser who served as national finance director for Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign, will join Priorities as a senior finance adviser.

The source, who asked to remain anonymous to speak more freely, said it’s doubtful there would be any announcement Friday regarding Jim Messina joining Priorities. Messina, who steered the President’s 2012 re-election campaign, is reportedly discussing the possibility with Priorities.
