    one thing is not necessarily like the other

    I almost always agree with you, Tim, but not this time. Pointing out differences between you and your opponent seems fair in general, and becomes a problem only when it crosses some, admittedly vague, line. A lot of what is said about Hillary Clinton seems over that line, and that is my interpretation of Obama's comment about her. His comments about Edwards don't appear to me to go that far.
