Silky: I'm really more a clone of Obama than Clinton

Lawyer John Edwards became Southern senator by pitching himself as a centrist. His senate record is mostly centrist. He voted for the Iraq war and was even know in the run-up to be one of its better advocates among the Democrats.

Now he’s a screaming nutrooter. And evidently he has no interest in being a Veep candidate one more time, because he’s casting himself as the electable populist radical.

Edwards seems to be saving his artillery for Hillary, and sought in Des Moines today to minimize the distance between himself and Obama.

“The differences between Sen. Clinton and myself are much more dramatic than the differences between Sen. Obama and myself,” he told reporters in Des Moines.

Perhaps Edwards is tacking left just to help blow up the SS Hillary?
