Jason Kinney and Roger Salazar, two leading California-based strategists, are re-launching the American Leadership Project. Head over to PolitickerCO.com for more on the story.

American Leadership Project, the pro-Hillary Clinton 527 group that is headed up by California-based political consultants Roger Salazar and Jason Kinney, is retooling as it gears up to play a role in a general election in which Clinton primary opponent Barack Obama will be the Democratic Party’s nominee.

“The primary season just ended, and we’re evaluating where we are,” Kinney told PolitickerCA.com today. “I think we can be an effective voice in the general election highlighting the issues.”

Kinney and Salazar declined to specify what role the organization would be playing, but confirmed that they were actively considering their options.

“We’re still talking about it,” said Kinney. “It’s something we’re seriously considering.”

Susie Tompkins Buell, the San Francisco clothing magnate who helped to head up Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s fundraising operations in the Bay Area, has started up a political action committee aimed at supporting Clinton in the final weeks of the primary campaign.

“Every vote MUST be heard. Every state MUST be included. NOBODY has the right to ask Hillary to step aside when so much is on the line,” wrote Buell in a Tuesday fundraising appeal posted on Mark Halperin’s The Page.
