Former President of Chicago NOW explains why she bolted from Clinton to support Obama


Former President of Chicago NOW, Lorna Brett Howard explains why she left the Hillary Clinton campaign to join the campaign of Barack Obama. More specifically? She was disgusted at how the Clinton campaign lied about Barack Obama's record on pro-choice matters.

Over at YouTube this clip links to a Washington Post article that came out on the 18th of January, explaining the smear campaign waged by the Clintonites during the New Hampshire primaries :

Three New Hampshire Democratic leaders who signed a letter two days before the state's primary at the request of Hillary Clinton's campaign, attacking Barack Obama as soft in his support for abortion rights, are asking Obama supporters in the state to put the rifts of the primary campaign behind them and praising Obama for being "strongly pro-choice."

Of the two dozen prominent women who signed the critical letter, e-mailed by the Clinton campaign to a list of supporters and undecided voters, three have now signed their names to another missive asking abortion rights supporters in the state to come together and take comfort in the fact that all of the Democratic presidential candidates are firmly pro-choice. One of the three Clinton supporters went even further, saying in an interview Thursday that signing the letter attacking Obama was a "mistake."

Katie Wheeler, a former state senator, said the Clinton campaign had not given her background information about Obama's record on abortion rights when it asked her to sign the letter calling him weak on the issue, and said that, as a result, she did not understand the context of the votes that the letter was attacking him over.

"It should never have gotten to the point where anyone thought Obama was not pro-choice," said Wheeler, a founder of the New Hampshire chapter of NARAL Pro-Choice America. "I don't think the Clinton campaign should have done that. It was divisive and unnecessary...I think it was a mistake and I've spoken to the national [Clinton campaign] and told them it caused problems in New Hampshire, and am hoping they won't do it again.

This is a new low for Hillary Clinton.

Please go read the whole thing at "Trying to Heal a Rift in New Hampshire". It's truly eye opening. Especially the comments left by people from New Hampshire. One of them predicts that if she does win the nomination, the Democrats will lose the state's governorship and the Senate seats to republicans.
