Then you might want to read the upstream source and reconsider whether to use them again as any kind of source. I know that you've read The Nation before, but I have to tell you, John Nichols didn't strike me in his writing as a particularly non-biased journalist (or even attempting to be).

"The often embarrassingly cautious Obama campaign had been slow to sign on to the pledge."

"Recognizing the value of distinguishing their candidate from Clinton, the front runner in most polls, they got Obama to sign the pledge."

This turned from a piece of journalism reporting about an incident, to an editorial making judgment calls about people. Tsk, tsk.
