Anyone who seriously thinks that elections are won on policy positions is not listening.
All national campaigns in the modern age are won on imagery. Hillary knows that. Obama
knows that. And Edwards knows that.

The policy differential between Obama and Hillary is barely perceivable. Their style and image
differentials are enormous. That is where the game is played at least up until now. You build up your favorables and drive your opponent into the dirt. That is where Hillary wants to campaign in the mud. That is where
she has taken this campaign this week. Sad, because Obama has offered a vision of a different
kind of politics. He speaks to the best that is in each of us. Some here are so busy snarking and yelling,
that they missed it.

Thanks for the opportunity to speak again.
