To say that Edwards is "just like Clinton and Obama" based on a single issue seems rather hasty, especially considering that he's been pretty clearly differentiating himself from them on a number of other issues that are honestly of greater consequence at the moment, like health care and the war in Iraq. So, yeah. I'm for gay rights too, but it seems odd that that would be the only issue you'd look at. On Edwards - I have to say, I’m a little confused.

Edwards is a great candidate (I love his economics) but I am not ready to call him, or anyone else, my candidate; as I suggested in my blog, I am disillusioned by Presidential candidates as a whole and this was the chink in Edwards' armor that turned me away. It's early though... True, it is a superficial look at Edwards and a bit unfair.

Fair enough. As you may've gathered I'm a bit of an Edwards fan, so if you're still persuadable let me suggest you check out <a href="http://skirsch.com/politics/president/comparison.htm" rel="nofollow">this link</a> (and <a href="http://www.prospect.org/cs/articles?articleId=12479" rel="nofollow">this one</a>, too). There's some good stuff in there. Mm. Fair enough. As you may’ve gathered I’m a bit of an Edwards fan, so if you’re still persuadable let me suggest you check out this link (and this one, too).

They really have the progressive agenda in mind and are not afraid to stand up for it. The current frontrunners are saying the same thing with different words, so it's hard to distinguish them from one another. The only real Democrats running are Kucinich and Gravel.
