A lot of ink and electrons have spilled recently over one candidate’s admitted use of illegal drugs as a young man. Earlier this month Hillary Clinton’s New Hampshire co-chair, Bill Shaheen wandered into the thicket when he said, "The Republicans are not going to give up without a fight ... and one of the things they're certainly going to jump on is his drug use." Shaheen also said Obama's candor on the subject would "open the door" to further questions. "It'll be, 'When was the last time? Did you ever give drugs to anyone? Did you sell them to anyone?'" Shaheen said. "There are so many openings for Republican dirty tricks. It's hard to overcome."
