John Edwards appeared on Sunday political talk shows this morning and put forth a consistently positive demeanor, declining easy opportunities to hammer his Democratic opponents.

He was particularly hands-off when it came to Senator Barack Obama. On “This Week with George Stephanopoulos,” Mr. Stephanopoulos noted that the Clinton campaign has been making the case that Mr. Obama is “untested, unexamined and ultimately unprepared and unelectable.”

“Are they right?” Mr. Stephanopoulos asked.

“Oh, I wouldn’t say those things,” Mr. Edwards replied. “I think that Barack Obama –­ I’ve gotten to know him during the course of the campaign. He seems to be a good man. He’s thoughtful, and I have respect for him.”
Mr. Edwards then pointed out what he called a “fundamental philosophical difference” ­ that Mr. Obama is more willing to compromise when working for change.
