Probably Why I'll Support Obama
It has been between Obama and Edwards for me for quite a while. I think that substantively, Edwards seems to across as a bit more policy oriented, but Obama seems to have the ability to unite all kinds of people. Now it is even clearer that Obama is right for all of America.
With that on the table, I feel no excuse but to support Obama, even if we are still a bit early in the primary season. However, Edwards has made some clear amends over his vote on the Iraq War, so if he comes clean on his tolerance of gays, then we shall see.In his new memoir, "No Excuses: Concessions of a Serial Campaigner," Shrum recalls asking Edwards at the outset of that campaign, "What is your position, Mr. Edwards, on gay rights?"
"I'm not comfortable around those people," Edwards replied, according to Shrum.

The idea that Edwards is more policy-oriented than Obama has been one of the main selling points for Edwards but it is simply wrong. Edwards just has his policies ready earlier because he's not in the Senate and has the time to work on it. By the time the actual voting is upon us, Obama will be ready with all his policies. I was also torn between Obama and Edwards, but I'm supporting Obama based on his consistent record of progressive politics.
