Parties Building 527 Groups — MoveOn Head To Run One Of Them
By Eric Kleefeld - November 12, 2007, 12:36PM

The party nominations haven't been settled yet, but the party organizers themselves are already busy creating the independent fundraising and advertising groups that we'll be seeing on our TV sets through the general election.

The Washington Post reports that Democratic strategists are preparing to have at least two large organizations in 2008, similar to the Media Fund and America Coming Together from 2004. Tom Matzzie, currently the director of MoveOn, is leaving his post there to head up a new, not yet named outfit, while former Bill Clinton chief of staff John Podesta is involved with a new 527 called the Fund For America.
