Thanks for clearing that up. I must admit that I like Edwards alot as well, and would be thrilled to support him (even moreso than Obama) if he wins the nomination.

Peace.

As many here know, I have been saying much of this over the past couple of weeks – though this piece goes even further than mine. In fact, just today I used the term “smoke and mirrors” to describe Obama’s candidacy, since (i) those positions he HAS articulated on major issues (Iraq, health care, global warming, tax cuts, etc.) are virtually identical to Hillary’s, (ii) his advisors are half ex-Clintonites and half ex-Daschle-ites – and ALL entrenched in party politics, no less so than Hillary’s group, (iii) he has among the worst “NV” (no vote) records in the Senate, either absent from voting or refusing to take a stand, and (iv) even given (iii), his voting record has been almost identical to Hillary’s since he joined the Senate – which makes sense since Hillary was his mentor, until he turned on her and chose to run for president at the same time.

Given all this – plus other points made in my recent opinion pieces (her longer tenure in the Senate, proven bipartisanship, knowledge of foreign affairs, relationships with world leaders, etc.) – I cannot see how Brad could prefer Obama over Hillary, no matter what her faults and negatives.

Peace.
