Shaheen was wrong to bring up Obama's drug use under any circumstances, but he was right in noting that the Republicans will use it against Obama if he wins the nomination. Romney already has. Indeed, by the time the Republicans get through lying about Obama the way they did about the Clintons Obama will have been converted into a major drug lord selling crack to grade school kids at the behest of his African muslim jihadist grandfather, who of course doesn't exist either. The Republicans will tell ANY LIE about any Democrat to regain power and feed at the public trough again. Democrats need to focus on the Republicans, which unfortunately none of them have recently. Edwards went after Clinton, then Obama went after Clinton, then Clinton hit back. Now Democrats are giving aid to the enemy with those attacks, when any of them will be better than any Republican.
