Two other differences that stick out to me: 1) The war on terror and Iraq. Hillary seems more willing to be pro-active and commit US military forces to the fight.
2) Charisma. Obama has a lot of it.....Hillary does not have near the charisma that her hubby has. Since Shawna did a good job of simplifying where Obama and Hillary differ on the (awful) idea of universal health care, let me just say that I hate Hillary's plan even more than Obama's.
