I wanted to post a response here to the Edwards ‘08 blog that I had written on my own blog, Berkeley Bubble, in response to a critique of John Edwards’ work on poverty, and to provide a quick reality check for readers on the “substantive” differences that exist between Edwards and Obama, two candidates that I greatly admire.  What follows is an excerpt from my post, “John Edwards v.

I’d first like to thank the poster for taking the time to comment on my post, and for offering me a way of further clarifying differences between both candidates’ agendas–a project all progressives and Democrats should do in earnest to ensure that we select the best candidate for 2008.
