A few months ago Politico uncovered a survey filed under Barack Obama’s name that revealed the candidate had very liberal positions on a number of important national issues. The campaign claimed a staffer had filled out the survey and the Senator had not seen it. New details, including a second copy of the the survey, this one with Senator Obama’s handwriting explaining and the revelation that Obama sat down for a full-length interview with the group sponsoring the survey, have been unearthed suggesting the campaign was not entirely truthful.

From Politico:

Through an aide, Obama, who won the group’s endorsement as well as the statehouse seat, did not dispute that the handwriting was his. But he contended it doesn’t prove he completed, approved — or even read — the latter questionnaire.

“Sen. Obama didn’t fill out these state Senate questionnaires — a staffer did — and there are several answers that didn’t reflect his views then or now,” Tommy Vietor, a spokesman for Obama’s campaign, said in an e-mailed statement. “He may have jotted some notes on the front page of the questionnaire at the meeting, but that doesn’t change the fact that some answers didn’t reflect his views. His 11 years in public office do.”

But the questionnaires provide fodder to question Obama’s ideological consistency and electability. Those questions are central to efforts by Obama’s presidential rival Hillary Clinton to woo the superdelegates whose votes represent her best chance to wrest the Democratic nomination from Obama.
