INTERVIEW with former admiral and now Rep. Joe Sestak on Clinton, Iraq, Pakistan, and Iran.
NOTE: phone audio troubles in Sestak interview.
To add, here in Nevada, Barack Obama has put out a flyer reading, in part, “You Can Be A Democrat for A Day.” It’s a plea to caucus for Obama, even if you just become a Democrat for one day. More as I get it… The flier is below:
UPDATE II: I haven’t been able to get through to Bob Buchanan, the man named in the flier. (Here’s an earlier story out of Florida similar to the one below, using the same “Democrats for a Day” language.) ABC news talked to him:
Buchanan told ABC News that after leaving about 100 of the fliers in mail slots and doors yesterday he realized the message he was sending was “negative.”
“This is not Obama,” he says he thought to himself.
So today he changed the second side of the flier to make it instead positive things about Obama, he says, instead of negative about Clinton. “It says, ‘Obama spoke against the war when it wasn’t popular,’ rather than focus on Hillary.”
He distributed more than 100 of the new flier today, he says, still targeting independents and Republicans. “Here in Nevada, we’ve never had a caucus before. So a lot of independents and Republicans didn’t know that they could vote.”
Buchanan says the Obama campaign didn’t know about his flier. “I’ve been trying to reach them today, but Obama’s in Reno today so it’s been tough to reach them,” he says.
Neither the Obama nor Clinton campaigns commented to ABC News.
UPDATE: One source I was able to track down told me that the fliers below were found being distributed in northern Nevada. An activist for Clinton evidently saw them and brought them to the campaign’s attention.
