Obama versus Hillary on economic issues
Advertisements [?]
Many of us Edwardians were drawn to Edwards because of economic issues. Edwards, after all, is someone who has been an economic populist his entire career (can we please retire the Big Lie now that it no longer offers an utility to Obama's campaign?). He ran on "Two Americas" in 2004 and ran on the same basic theme again, this time talking about "Building One America." Edwards' campaign had a laser-like focus on economic issues affecting working folks and the poor. This was in contrast to what the other two candidates mainly campaigned on. I won't get into their themes here. I am explaining why many of us were drawn to Edwards. I can't see a dime's worth of difference between Obama and Hillary on such issues, especially trade. Am I wrong? If so convince me and other Edwardians why your candidate is closer to Edwards' economic message. I think this is the top reason Edwardians aren't flocking to any of the remaining candidates. We don't see a difference on the issues that matter the most to us.
