Hillary wants to keep the system mostly the same, but make it look different.
Obama wants to change the system but keep it intact, just tinker with it until it's better.
Edwards thinks the system's prettymuch FUBAR, and wants to completely rework it.
Isn't everybody is tired of his personal narrative already? "My Dad worked in a factory." How horrifying, I can't believe somebodies Dad worked in a factory in this day and age.

Obama might be ok.
PH45 has the list of qualified candidates (those who opposed invasion) and none of them has a shot. The media will paint them as having, too much socialism(K), too much capitalism(P), and well I'll have to check on Gravel...
