So where did the allegation come from? Yes that's right, from the Democrats themselves.
Well, actually the Clinton lawyer discussed the electability of Obama given his admission of past drug use.

Quote:
Shaheen said Obama's candor on the subject would "open the door" to further questions. "It'll be, 'When was the last time? Did you ever give drugs to anyone? Did you sell them to anyone?'" Shaheen said. "There are so many openings for Republican dirty tricks. It's hard to overcome."
However, it was a McCain lawyer who wrote to the NYT asking them to investigate Obama's drug use and to "find his dealer".

If by referring to the Democrats raising the issue of his drug use, you must be referring to Obama himself talking about the drug use in his book, and later on the campaign trail, and you would be right. If you think it was initially leaked by opposing democrats as a tactic against Obama, well, I'd say it's polite to cover your mouth until you have you facts straight.
