Pro-Hillary Group Spending $700,000 On New Indiana Ad Targeting Obama On Economy
By Greg Sargent - April 28, 2008, 5:37PM


The American Leadership Project -- the 527 that was put together by Hillary-supporting unions and major donors -- is spending $700,000 on a new ad in Indiana targeting Obama on the economy, the ALP's spokesperson just confirmed to me.

The spokesperson, Jason Kinney, says that the new ad will be "similar in content and tone" to a recent ALP spot hitting Obama hard on health care -- only this time, the ad "will be focused on jobs."

Kinney, who happens to be an Indiana native, says that this will be the group's largest buy to date -- something they had long expected, because Indiana has been hit hard by job loss.

"Indiana has long been ground zero for economic anxiety," Kinney said.

Kinney confirms that the money will pay for the ad to be shown on "broadcast and cable in nearly every market" between tomorrow and next Monday or Tuesday.

Kinney confirms that the group will also air a version of the health-care spot, although the details of that buy aren't yet available. He also says that the group is thinking about funding ads in North Carolina.

Kinney declined to share details of the new spot on jobs. We'll bring it to you as soon as we can get it.
