46. The New Hampshire flier...
I knew that the Hillary Campaign knew Obama's position on a women's right to choose. I also knew that they were aware that the "voting present" in the Illinois senate was being done for a specific reason. If she had thought it was the wrong thing to do and had questioned Obama on that, I would have considered that informative, and fair game. The voters have a right to hear about those kind of disagreements. Instead Hillary's Campaign put out a flier questioning Obama's support for a woman's right to choose. Saying in effect "how can we know his stand if he voted present".

That is deliberately misleading the American citizens. I don't want to be mislead period. There is a big difference between winning and making the other side lose by any means. That is the GOP way. They have no interest in winning fairly, just not losing. How you come to power is indicative of how you will use that power.

I printed that flier to bring to my caucus, but it turned out that the support for Obama was overwhelming, in our all white, all ages, small town Maine caucus.
