Reply #9: The answer is based on political skill not desire to do something

Because I think both would have similar policy proposals.

So which of the two can push their agenda more successfully? Personally, I think this is where experience in DC and in the WH gives HRC a leg up in that debate.

I think one can also say that Obama appears to have positioned himself slightly to the right of Hillary on certain issues. It can be argued as Krugman has done, that this would make it harder for him to push the Democratic agenda in some areas (healthcare being one) since his own arguments from this campaign would be used by our opponents.
