Obama Targeting Republican Women?

Either the Barack Obama campaign is embarking on a most unusual way of garnering caucus votes, or they got their hands on a bad mailing/call list.

A neighbor of ours received two glossy, full-sized campaign mailers Thursday. Both were for Obama. Both attacked Hillary Clinton. She also has been receiving calls from the campaign. The problem? The woman has been a Republican for years.

Of course, with same-day registration available for the Nevada Democratic caucus it just might be a bold plan to add outside voters. But we're leaning towards the "bum list" theory.

Anyway, while the first mailer takes Clinton to task for "put(ting) Washington thinking and Washington interests first," the second is interesting from a local perspective. Fighting back on attacks from Clinton that Obama hasn't been the best of friends to the pro-choice community, this mailer features Reno assemblywoman Sheila Leslie coming to his defense.
