The pro-Clinton 527, American Leadership Project, written off as dead last week, now plans to air about $500,000 worth of advertising in Texas.

The group is "buying ads in Texas today," emails spokesman Roger Salazar, who said that the "lion's share of the funding is from AFSCME," the government workers union that supports Hillary.

1. Amazing how non-dead the Clinton campaign is. Amazing, after reading DU, that is.

3. Why is this democratic nomination coming so close to a general republican v. democrat election?

6. We take turns according to the incumbant.

It's polite.

4. today, in one day?

this seems dumb, do they hope the ad will go viral on the evening news or something. I've heard of late buys the week before an election but the day before. This seems like a really dumb waste of resources.

5. Is this the illegal 527?

You can't be pro-anybody if you're a 527.

8. Is what the illegal 527?

You are suggesting Hillary's 527 is illegal but Obama's isn't? As people see, your bias is showing.

10. The Obama 527 doesn't attack Hillary, it just says good things about Obama.

9. its the one everyone was up in arms over recently

20. The race will be over before the FEC catches up to the group

So why not break the rules. After all, it's for Hillary.

7. today...

Monday, the 3rd...

:rofl:

[Exilednight]

11. another DLC group that can't let Howard Dean's strategy trump their's.

[Lucinda]

12. Has anyone seen the ads?

13. Lemme guess... they bought airtime in the 3:00 am slot?

}(

I imagine that's all that's left to buy, with Obama ruling the airwaves in both Texas and Ohio.

15. Except... he hasn't. He's just accused someone.

No big deal, except to the DUbamas who swore the site was run by Taylor Marsh.

16. Saw that... notice how Clinton's Drudge-connected staffer...

... seemed to know his name before Ben offered it? :think:

19. if I had a thread left, I would post this info - I'd be interested to know

more about this person - maybe find out if what the staffer said is true - that she never fed him anything.

17. to "Ignored" - sorry, I can't hear you.

[Debi]

18. How can there be a 'pro-candidate' 527?

That is against the law.

Oh, wait, what am I saying....it's for Hillary Clintion :crazy:
