Anyone else notice this?
It seems like Clinton and Obama are just expanding on eachothers ideas and there is no real difference between the two, is this good or bad?

Good for Obama, bad for Clinton.
That's the problem with the Clinton campaign. They complain that Obama just offers hope, and no plan or ideas. Then when they do press him on an issue, they find that he pretty much feels the same way she does on all of the major issues. There's then nothing to set them apart, except for their personalities.
And, that's where Obama shines. His charisma, and mantra of hope and change are being devoured by the voters, left, right, or indifferent. Clinton comes across to me as someone who fully expected to win and is in a panic mode now that she is at a disadvantage.
Obama is the underdog and has comparatively nothing to lose. If he loses in 2008, he can come back in 2012, and 2016. If Clinton loses in 2008, she might as well hang up any aspirations of ever being president.
Ohno
There is no real difference. There hasn't been a real difference between parties for some time.
Glad you noticed.
Now, can you get the REST of America to take notice?
I think it is bad.
It is like a play. Everyone has different lines, but it is from the same script.

I'm sure they have some of the same core ideas,,
like lowering the tax burden on lower and middle class taxpayers., promoting alternative energy,
Clinton wants universal healthcare coverage, Obama wants to make it available to everyone.

Well it's typical politics. 4 weeks after the election, 95% of all Americans won't even remember what they said.
