74% say most won't vote for President who used cocaine

In a New York Times poll in June, 74 percent of respondents said they did not think most people they know would vote for a presidential candidate who has ever used cocaine. "In the few polls that explicitly ask about cocaine use in a presidential candidate (as opposed to the softer more generic 'Drug Use,')" says one Washington, D.C. insider, "Seventy-four percent say cocaine use makes a person unfit to be president. It's the highest negative apart from 'no government experience.' Put differently, never in the history of the presidency has a front runner openly admitted to using cocaine. So now that Obama is talking about the drug use more often, I am absolutely certain it's because he and his team know that the cocaine issue is going to roar forward. It will be a major issue if he is the nominee.The GOP will ride it hard and he is trying to inoculate."

Does anyone notice the John Kerry nature of the Obama campaign? The whining that the other side is playing dirty? Their idea of fighting back is to release a press statement quickly? Obama is quoted as saying the "truth" presented forcefully is the best defense. That is a ridiculous approach to politics. You can't win on defense. This whole episode proves Hillary is the best candidate for the Dems to win the WH.
