Letters to the Editor

Obama has not changed his position....
Unless, of course, you fail to see the obvious similarity between the following 2 statements -
Obama in the survey you mentioned from last year:
"If I am the Democratic nominee, I will aggressively pursue an agreement with the Republican nominee to preserve a publicly financed general election."
Obama to Russert in last Tuesday's debate:
"If I am the nominee, then I will sit down with John McCain and make sure that we have a system that is fair for both sides, because Tim, as you know, there are all sorts of ways of getting around these loopholes."
Sorry - but this whole thing seems like selective, lazy journalism to me - "agressively pursue an agreement with the Republican nominee..." and "I will sit down with John McCain..." sounds like the same thing to me - I don't see what "pledge" has been broken here.
