Iraq Vote Dogs Clinton (Again)
By Patrick Healy


PLAISTOW, N.H. – After weeks of political discussion about domestic issues like health care, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton was confronted Saturday afternoon with one of the issues that dogged her as a new candidate last winter: Her voting record on issues of war.

While critics of Mrs. Clinton used to denounce her for voting to authorize the Iraq war in 2002, today the challenge came from an otherwise enthusiastic supporter of Mrs. Clinton, Barbara Dennett, a math teacher and field hockey coach.

At a town hall meeting in a middle school gym here, Ms. Dennett first hailed Mrs. Clinton’s health care reform effort in 1993-94, then said “I also completely trust you on the social issues, women and children and family.”

“My concern is your voting record on war,” Ms. Dennett said. “The friends I talk to, to get them on board, they don’t trust you because of your voting issue on war.” She added that she and her friends did not want Mrs. Clinton to be “a war president.”
