It's not just the bloggers, but Obama's campaign that's trying to paint a difference with Clinton on this issue, when - based on those quotes - there really isn't one.

Here's a quote from Obama's campaign memo -

"When asked whether he would use nuclear weapons to take out terrorist targets in Pakistan and Afghanistan, Barack Obama gave the sensible answer that nuclear force was not necessary, and would kill too many civilians. Conventional wisdom held this up as a sign of inexperience. But if experience leads you to make gratuitous threats about nuclear use - inflaming fears at home and abroad, and signaling nuclear powers and nuclear aspirants that using nuclear weapons is acceptable behavior, it is experience that should not be relied upon.

Barack Obama's judgment is right. Conventional wisdom is wrong. It is wrong to propose that we would drop nuclear bombs on terrorist training camps in Pakistan, potentially killing tens of thousands of people and sending America's prestige in the world to a level that not even George Bush could take it. We should judge presidential candidates on their judgment and their plans, not on their ability to recite platitudes."

If that is intended as a shot at Clinton, it distorts what she said, IMO.  She didn't propose dropping nukes, she said she wouldn't discuss it one way or the other.  But it also now seems to distort what Obama said since his answer now looks almost exactly like Clinton's (and it's an answer I agree with).  Unless this entire memo is aimed at Tancredo, but somehow I doubt that...

I tend to agree with Kevin Drum that this fighting over linguistic crap is getting old.  In my mind all it's doing is underscoring that there isn't much difference between Obama and Clinton.  But maybe that's Obama's problem, how do you gain in polls over an opponent who holds many of the same positions you do and has an almost indistinguishable voting record?  I don't know, but distorting things isn't exactly a new kind of politics (which, btw, I totally don't expect, but I'm not the one who promised it - rookie mistake, IMO).
