The American Leadership Project, a California based 527 lead by a pair of folks the CA-blogosphere knows something about, Roger Salazar and Jason Kinney, is alive again.  It had been quiet after posting after some half-hearted attempts at media buys in Ohio and Indiana.

Well, they birthed 2 new ads, one for Montana and one for Puerto Rico. Not sure on the ad buy for these, but for context, in Ohio they had some ads up on YouTube for weeks and only got them on the air for the last couple days. (h/t TPM)

According to sources close the group, the American Leadership Project, a pro-Hillary Clinton independent expenditure campaign affiliated with two California Majority Report publishers, is increasing its media buy in the battleground state of Indiana by another $200K today –- for a total spent of $1.1 million. The Hoosier State's Tuesday, May 6 primary is probably the most contested race left in the election calendar, with Clinton currently holding a narrow but statistically significant lead over Senator Barack Obama based on the aggregate Pollster.com numbers.

The American Leadership Project, which includes two publishers of the California Majority Report, has launched a new ad in Indiana. Here's the AP with more:

"A political advocacy group consisting of backers of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential campaign was to begin spending at least $700,000 Tuesday in an Indiana advertising blitz calling on Sen. Barack Obama to address the economic plight of Americans.

The Indiana ad campaign would be the biggest single expenditure in a state for the mostly union financed group, called the American Leadership Project. The group spent more than $1 million running ads in Texas, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

"Indiana has been ground zero for economic anxiety since 2001," said Jason Kinney, an Indiana native and one of the organizers of the American Leadership Project.

The ad quotes commentators who describe Obama's economic plan as deficient. The ad campaign could come at a crucial time for Clinton. The Democratic presidential race in Indiana is a dead heat, according to public opinion polls. Obama, the better-financed candidate, has been spending more than Clinton in the state. ..."

The American Leadership Project, the Pro-Hillary Clinton 527 that CMR publishers Roger Salazar and Jason Kinney are affiliated with, is devoting at least $300,000 to an ad buy in Pennsylvania, Politico.com reports. They spent $500,000 in Texas during the crucial final days of her successful campaign in the state -- a campaign, incidentally, managed in the Lone Star State by CMR contributor Ace Smith. Not that we're counting. David Axelrod is cool too, and more than welcome to make a guest post anytime he likes.
