2016 Campaigns Have Already Begun

Get ready...

The shorter campaign cycle is dead. Long live 2016.

Barely eight months removed from the 2012 presidential saga, super PACs are sprouting to buck up Hillary Clinton, and GOP hopefuls are already hitting the early-state circuit — and attempting to woo donors.
