Have Hillary or Edwards admitted any past drug use?

[TeamJordan23]

I believe it has no factor on their candidacay, but I am interested if they have admitted (or denied) any past drug use.

[billbuckhead]

1. If it's no factor, why are you interested?

:shrug:

[TeamJordan23]

2. Just to better know about them personally.

3. I was going to ask the same thing

Some people must think they are smarter than everyone else on DU

[saracat]

4. Don't know about HRC. Doubt she'd answer.Edwards admitted he smoked pot in answer to the

2003 Debate question as did all the candidates but Sharpton , Kucinich and Lieberman.

6. Thanks for the info Sara,

Edwards once again, shows his honesty.

[balantz]

9. Boy he's good!

He didn't even look stoned in the 2003 debates!

[Beaverhausen]

5. Who cares?

seriously - I assume anyone who was in college in the late 60s- early 70s smoked pot. It's not a big deal- most of us did and we are relatively OK, right?

7. And why do you think......

....Obama came clean, preemptively? Eh?

Now you know.

[jenmito]

8. Preemptively? He wrote all about it in his book, "Dreams of My Father".

Now YOU know.

[suston96]

13. Who knew.....?

Sorry, not everybody has read his book. But you can be sure that Hillary and Edwards will have to "come clean".

Obama and the media will demand it.

Or maybe Wolf Blitzer or Tim Russert will in an imminent debate.

10. Obama was truthful and came clean

and is not bothered by the republican owned and operated press dogging him,so why would Clinton or Edwards care either.

[BenDavid]

11. This is a non issue and I agree. Once the press let bushit

slide in 2000 about his cocaine use and abuse. His alcohol used and abuse. His national guard service or dis-service there cannot be now a question from that same press asking any candidate if they used drugs, or for that matter had sex hanging from a ceiling fan. But the press will try and if the candidate does not give an answer oh my my, they will go all out and claim the candidate is hiding something.

If HRC or for that matter any of our candidates when asked this question would turn to the person and say. "I am going to give you the same answer that bush gave you in 2000 and that was the end of that and if you or anyone else goes further, then the american people will see the double standard you are using"

12. Democrats themselves wouldn't accept that

And that's the problem. I heard more about the swift boat garbage from Democrats than I did from Republicans. Democrats' fear of a scandal fans the flames more than the actual scandal.

[ElizabethDC]

14. I don't believe Hillary has ever said anything about it,

and I don't recall her ever having been asked about it either.
