12. Just three big differences between Edwards and Clobama
1) Health care: Edwards has a universal health care plan, Obama's plan would leave at least 15 million people uninsured, and Clinton has no plan yet.

2) Iraq: Edwards wants to end the war and take all the troops out of Iraq. Clinton and Obama will keep an unspecified number of troops in Iraq for an unspecified length of time. Just have "faith" that it won't wind up being 75,000 troops for 8 years.

3) Poverty: Edwards has made poverty a central theme of his campaign and has a $15 billion a year plan to reduce it. Obama mentioned poverty once--which just "happened" to be during Edwards' poverty tour. Clinton apparently is unaware that poverty exists. (aside from the token Clobama references to poverty before certain audiences--Edwards says it everywhere.)

There are more but here are 3 huge ones off the top of my head.
