New Group Forms to Boost Clinton Candidacy
Wealthy supporters of Mrs. Clinton's presidential bid are seeking to revive her candidacy through a new organization which will accept large donations, the American Leadership Project. The group, registered with the IRS on Friday, wants to raise $10 million for pro-Clinton television ads to run in key states like Ohio and Texas, ABC News and the Atlantic magazine reported. "If speeches could create jobs, we wouldn't be facing a recession, but it takes more," an ad released on the Web said yesterday. The organization was put together by Democratic political operatives in California and is required to remain independent from the Clinton campaign. Mr. Obama's campaign said the group's status is legally murky. A similar organization has already spent millions to aid Mr. Obama.
