Illinois NOW, the Essence of Hypocrisy

How cute, Clinton’s campaign keeps up on the present votes including the most hypocritical pile of shit in a campaign:

Illinois Now on Obama’s Present Votes On Choice:

During Sen. Obama’s 2004 Senate campaign, the Illinois NOW PAC did not recommend the endorsement of Obama for U.S. Senate because he refused to stand up for a woman’s right to choose and repeatedly voted ‘present’ on important legislation.As a State Senator, Barack Obama voted ‘present’ on seven abortion bills, including a ban on ‘partial birth abortion,’ two parental notification laws and three ‘born alive’ bills. In each case, the right vote was clear, but Sen. Obama chose political cover over standing and fighting for his convictions. “When we needed someone to take a stand, Sen. Obama took a pass,” said Grabenhofer. “He wasn’t there for us then and we don’t expect him to be now.”

Yet, Lisa Madigan did the same thing. What did Illinois Now do about her refusal to take a stand?

Yep, they endorsed her:
