if u like banana leave rice, then do try out a Selvam reratusant, its nearby the red house, before u reach red house, there’s a public bank (and next to public bank its Tabung haji and police station), so Selvam is sorta opposite public bank . erm, u get my description? LOLas for baba nyonya food i’ve yet to come across a favourite one, but there are many of such restos in melaka raya, and i see their biz is always good. u can try out!oh and there’s one place that serves kick ass thosai and char kuey teow. i think the name of the street is jalan laksamana.

For the record:

(1) The woman in this video is, indeed, Lorna Brett Howard.

(2) Lorna served as president of the *Chicago* Chapter of the National Organization for Women, *not* Illinois NOW. (Yes, there are both state and local chapters of NOW, in addition to the national chapter.)

How do I know? I spent many years involved with Chicago NOW, including time as Vice President during Lorna's tenure as President.

This video shows more about the power of the narrative then the problem with negative campaigning.

The Clinton campaign went negative with targeted printed materials with no narrative.

The Obama campaign produced this video with a homemade feel and in doing so disguised a negative attack as defense against those mean Clintons.

While Lorne Brett Howard implies that she was the President of Illinois NOW AND was in agreement with Obama’s abstaining to vote, she was not even part of Illinois NOW at the time. NOW wanted Obama to vote against the legislation (see http://www.illinoisnow.org/ ).

Clearly, the Clinton campaign does not understand how to carry out negative campaigning with new media. Wrap a negative ad into a narrative on YouTube and you can imply anything you want and even the most intelligent and educated won’t bother to look at the facts.

I find it amazing that after a multitude of attacks over months by our illustrious First Lady on Barack Obama that LYING is simply referred to as negative campaigning. LYING is LYING and HIllary Clinton should be called on it loud and clear. Why are we so careful with her? Hillary has run a negative, down and dirty, lying campaign and has dishonored herself, the title of First Lady and the Democratic party.

Perhaps the title of this post should be changed. I don't think it's *negative* campaigning that's the real problem here; it's *false* or misleading campaigning that's really objectionable.

I think Steve did not actually play the video, or he is watching it on dial-up. Flash can smartly degrade streaming video quality to keep up with connection issues. I will give him the benefit of the doubt, because unless he is just being an arse, this video is just perfect for identifying the subject. The lighting is fair if not subtle. The detail is very good. There is no intent here to deceive the audience with regards to who this is.

Steve Baba: I agree with the others. There is nothing wrong with the resolution and the picture is very clear, her face is well lit, and there can be no doubt it is the same person shown on the Mapendo Blog. The resolution is still pretty good with full screen mode. The YouTube video was posted by the Obama campaign, however there is nothing presumptively wrong with that.

You can easily do a search of her name and come up with a ton of results, mostly regarding this video.

Here is a relevant thread on Archpundit.

btw: My vote went to Edwards (not quite wasted) so I'm neutral between Obama and Clinton, for now. I despise the negative campaigning both sides have engaged in.
