This post appears at the Center for Competitive Politics blog. It begins: “The American Leadership Project (ALP), an independent 527 organization once denounced by Barack Obama’s presidential campaign when the group touted issues associated with Senator Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, returned last week with advertisements criticizing Senator John McCain’s energy positions. The new ALP advertisements have been met with no apparent response from the Obama campaign despite being nearly identical in form to the advertisements ALP produced previously in the primary campaign.” Bob? UPDATE: Bob Bauer responds. He seems to have read way too much in my “Bob?” question at the end. It is not that I thought there was any particular credence to the CCP posting–I was not intending to suggest that I thought the argument was valid. It is that I did not expect the CCP posting to be unanswered by Bob. And in that prediction I was correct.
