Loading ...DOES ALP = HRC?
The Barack Obama campaign says the American Leadership Project is really a shill for the Hillary Clinton campaign. The ALP is going to spend nearly half a million dollars on anti-Obama ads in the Hoosier state. However a spokesman for the Obama camp says key members of the group are all Clinton backers.
For example, Jason Kinney the group co-Chairman is the son of State Senator Vi Simpson who is a Clinton supporter. ALP creator Roger Salazar is a former spokesman for the Clinton White House.
Spokesman Kevin Griffis says the group ran negative and misleading ads in Pennsylvania and will do so here in Indiana. If the Obama people are smart they will take the kid gloves off and and put the brass knuckles on. Now is not the time to punk out.

The Clinton folks need not spend a dime in Indiana to defeat Obama. Reverend Wright has already accomplished that.
Latest poll shows Clinton with a 12% lead over Obama in Indiana and a similar spread in North Carolina now since Wright went on the circuit.
Any chance Obama had is up in flames unless he grows a huge pair of brass ones in the next 24 hours.

I hope Hillary digs out that speech she gave to Congress I spoke of on the HFFT blog. She was pissed when that war started and there were no answers about how much it would cost and where the money was to pay for it.

Rush has been talking about this for a while, and it’s no big surprise for Clinton. Mister “Say no to PACs” Obama has taken hundreds of thousands of dollars from the employees of PACs (which aren’t registered lobbyists) - which isn’t any different than taking money from the PAC. John McCain helped start this with his legislation - so everyone sucks. Just don’t think Obama hasn’t taken a LOT of money from corporations, STATE lobbyists, WIVES of lobbyists, special interest groups, and employees of PACs. He’s not the innocent guy he claims to be. After all, PAC money is claimed to account for only 1 percent of a campaign’s earnings, so he’s blowing a lot of hot air saying it’s a big deal. He’s getting those millions of dollars from the same evil corporations and special interest groups he supposedly despises - but everyone buys the Obama hot air!

Politically, Hillary is just a more seasoned Obama.
