Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's political future may not be clear, but her backers have already created a new super PAC to support a potential 2016 presidential bid. 
 
 A group called "Ready for Hillary" registered Friday with the Federal Election Commission. Its chairperson? Allida Black, a George Washington University professor and historian, who has been a vocal Clinton supporter for years. 
 
 Four years ago, Black called for President Barack Obama to name Clinton as his vice presidential pick, and she helped launch a political action committee called WomenCount that pushed back against calls for Clinton to drop out of the 2008 Democratic presidential primary. In its first month of operation, WomenCount PAC raised more than $350,000. 
 
 "She's the candidate that I have wanted for decades," Black, who did not immediately respond to a request for comment, told The New Republic in 2008. "I had heard about Hillary for a good 15 years before Bill ran in '92, and I was for Bill because of Hillary." 
 
 Ready for Hillary's treasurer is listed as Judy A. Beck, who is married to Black, according to Black's Twitter profile. 
 
 This is the second Hillary Clinton-themed super PAC to materialize this month. Davenport, Iowa, resident Nigel Wallace formed Hillary Clinton Super PAC on January 10. He declined to comment on its creation. 
 
 Update: Jan. 28, 2013, 3:55 p.m.: In an email to the Center for Public Integrity, Black described Ready for Hillary as "a small group of skilled and dedicated Hillary supporters and Obama supporters" who are ready to devote their "organizational expertise and energy to helping Hillary become president." She continued: "Our purpose is simple: we are ready to work for Hillary to be president when she is ready to run. When our website launches in a few weeks, we plan to reach out to our grassroots networks and contributors to mobilize them to support her." ||||| Fans of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have launched a super PAC on her behalf as speculation continues to swirl about her 2016 ambitions. 
 
 “Ready for Hillary” on Friday filed with the Federal Election Commission, following on the heels of another group called “HILLARYCLINTONSUPERPAC.”

 Allida Black, who is chairing the Ready for Hillary PAC, told the Center for Public Integrity in a piece posted on Monday that the group is “‘a small group of skilled and dedicated Hillary supporters and Obama supporters’ who are ready to devote their ‘organizational expertise and energy to helping Hillary become president.’” 
 
 “Our purpose is simple: we are ready to work for Hillary to be president when she is ready to run,” Black, a George Washington University professor and historian, as well as a longtime Clinton backer, said to the Center for Public Integrity in an email. “When our website launches in a few weeks, we plan to reach out to our grassroots networks and contributors to mobilize them to support her.” 
 
 The organization’s Twitter account already sports nearly 50,000 followers. 
 
 News of the filing comes amid mounting chatter concerning whether Clinton will run for president. On Sunday, she and President Barack Obama appeared together on “60 Minutes” and Clinton dodged a question about her future ambitions. 
 
 “I think that, you know, look, obviously the president and I care deeply about what’s going to happen for our country in the future,” Clinton said. “And I don’t think, you know, either he or I can make predictions about what’s going to happen tomorrow or the next year.”
– Sure, she may not even run, but Hillary Clinton has already got a 2016 support network in place: Two super PACs are poised to fund a potential presidential run. The group "Ready for Hillary" filed with the Federal Election Commission on Friday, Politico reports, not long after "HillaryClintonSuperPAC" did so. "Our purpose is simple: We are ready to work for Hillary to be president when she is ready to run," says the George Washington University professor chairing the former. "When our website launches in a few weeks, we plan to reach out to our grassroots networks and contributors to mobilize them to support her," Allida Black tells the Center for Public Integrity, calling the organization "a small group of skilled and dedicated Hillary supporters and Obama supporters." HillaryClintonSuperPAC, meanwhile, was formed by Iowa resident Nigel Wallace.
