DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Jeb Bush is preparing to embark on an experiment in presidential politics: delegating many of the nuts-and-bolts tasks of seeking the White House to a separate political organization that can raise unlimited amounts of campaign cash.
The concept has been in development as the former Florida governor raises tens of millions of dollars for his super PAC.
The exact design of the strategy remains fluid as Bush approaches an announcement of his intention to run in 2016.
But should Bush move ahead, his team believes it is possible that for the first time a super PAC created to support a single candidate would spend more than the candidate’s campaign itself – at least through the primaries.
