So what? (none / 0)

What's your opinion, who do you think is more/less progressive? I hate to even say "based on the substance in my diary" cuz you'd think that would be implied.

Personally, I don't see much difference policy-wise between Obama and Clinton.  They vote together on just about everything in the Senate.  They're solid on all the major progressive issues.  This campaign has come down to style and rhetoric (as well as race and gender, unfortunately).

Maybe we can talk about substance instead. That's what my diary is about. Obama is definitely to the right of Clinton on domestic policy, on a wide swath of issues: charter schools, Social Security, his response to the subprime mortgage crisis, his limited and voluntarist take on health care insurance, his support for the credit card company position on their interest rates, just for starters. And you can add his 2005 votes that caused him to get that C I note in my diary.
