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."
