The Obama campaign’s announcement that they will support Dem Super PACs raises two question. First, does this move undercut Obama’s image as a progressive reformer? And second, will Obama aggressively campaign on a real push for campaign finance reform, including a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United, as advocates hope he will?

On a conference call with reporters just now, Obama campaign officials tried to answer both questions. They wouldn’t say Obama would campaign on a push for an amendment, arguing that the political reality of the current Congress — with GOP control of the House — makes such an outcome unlikely at best.
