From the Union Leader: U.S. Sen. Barack Obama says he has not softened his position on Iraq, despite suggestions to the contrary from other presidential camps and liberal blogs.

Other campaigns privately pointed out the Associated Press report and questioned if Obama has changed his stance.

Sorry, Maryscott--I plead sleepy. I saw the article just as I was getting ready to go to bed, and wanted to get it posted. It was only after I'd posted the thing, as I was brushing my teeth, that I thought to myself, "Wait a minute--did that say "the liberal blog Daily Kos?" It's NOT A LIBERAL BLOG! Everybody who's paying attention knows that by now.
