Politico's Harris and VandeHei misrepresented Harris' own interview with Obama
March 19, 2008 4:59 pm ET
SUMMARY: The Politico's Jim VandeHei and John F. Harris claimed in an article that "[w]hen pressed on a voting record that the National Journal called the most liberal in the Senate, [Sen. Barack] Obama dismissed ideological labels as 'old politics.' " However, when Harris asked Obama about the National Journal's vote ratings in a previous interview, Obama initially responded by criticizing the Journal's methodology; Obama referred to "old politics" moments later in response to Harris' question about whether he is "comfortable with the liberal label."
