Here's a dailykos diary for those who really are curious about Obama's positions on issues in comparison with Edwards.*

Among the positions examined in chart format with comments are:

Repeal tax cuts for wealthy

Patriot Act

Abortion

US out of Iraq

Same-sex
domestic partnership
benefits

Teacher led prayer in school

Mandatory
3 strikes
sentencing laws

Death penalty

etc. etc. etc.


*Why Edwards? Perhaps because up till last week, more kossacks [members of the dailykos blog] favored Edwards than any other candidate. Judging from the last straw poll of members, Obama appears to be slightly leading Edwards among kossacks now and Clinton remains a distant third.
