Anorther Brilliant Journalist

CBS News has an article that starts "White House spokesman Robert Gibbs on Tuesday walked back earlier statements that Republicans could "no doubt" win control of the House this November..." What is "walked back." Do they mean he retracted his statement? He didn't, in fact he just said he "stated the obvious" but felt democrats would retain majority.

You can say he qualified his statement but "Walked back?" Stephanie Condon wrote the article so we can expect great things from her - she might end up being another talking head. She should, however, change her name to condom.
