Hillary Supporters Create New 527 For Ohio And Beyond
A group of Hillary Clinton backers have set up a new 527 called the American Leadership Project, with the intention of running ads in Ohio and possibly Texas and Pennsylvania. The ads will compare Hillary and Obama on various issues, and be an appeal to look beyond mere rhetoric in politics. The tag-line for the ads: "If speeches could solve problems..."
The organizers include: Jason Kinney, a former speechwriter for Gray Davis; Mattis Goldman, a former ad man for Antonio Villaraigosa and Sherrod Brown; Erick Mullen, a political consultant whose clientele has included Wesley Clark, Bill Bradley and Chuck Schumer; Paul Rivera, a senior adviser to the Kerry-Edwards campaign; and Roger Salazar, an assistant press secretary in the Bill Clinton White House.
The bottom line here appears to be that Hillary's support network has given up on trying to match Obama in the passion/enthusiasm department, and is embracing the new tactic of calling him an empty suit without any real accomplishments.
