The High Standard of Single Talk

Former Sen. John Edwards, D-NC, launched a web ad so aggressive towards Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, upon first viewing I thought it was put together by the Republican National Committee. (WATCH IT HERE).
And today Edwards will continue making his case against the former First Lady in such a fashion, saying in Iowa City, per remarks released by his campaign, that "Senator Clinton is voting like a hawk in Washington, while talking like a dove in Iowa and New Hampshire. We have seen this movie before. And it doesn't end well -- in fact, as we all know too well, in Iraq, it hasn't ended at all."
I agree that Clinton's debate performance exposed her to several charges of not presenting a clear opinion -- what Edwards calls "double-speaking."
But has Edwards exposed himself to that charge as well?
I don't know that his answers about the driver's license issue on 'This Week' were the easiest to understand. Watch HERE and fast-forward to about 7 minutes into George's piece.
And I'm not certain where he is on the issue of whether or not there should be residual forces in Iraq.
