HMM: Obama shifts, says he may back offshore drilling. On closer reading it looks more like a waffle -- or maybe a straddle -- than a full-blown flipflop. But there's still hope.

UPDATE: It's not playing too well on the left: "Add off shore drilling to that list of Democratic principles Barack Obama does not stand for. I hope Obama gets some votes from Republicans come November because the Bush Enabler sure is on board with many of their core values. Off shore drilling, Church and State, gun control, war funding, death penalty, FISA . . . and the list grows."
