Tim Boyum thinks Democrats may be fighting over minor differences.
In a post on his Political Connections blog, the News 14 Carolina reporter writes that the Republican candidates for president have much different plans, but are fighting more polite campaigns.
Meantime, Democrats Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, who are closer on policy, have been fighting hard.
They're not the only ones, Boyum writes:
In North Carolina's race for governor, there are clear differences with the Republicans yet they do little bickering with each other in the press (although that appears to be changing a bit). On the Democratic side, they have very similar beliefs yet spend most of their time arguing in the press about a theater that sits in a rural county that many voters probably don't even know exists. That campaign is close to getting nasty.
Boyum is in South Carolina reporting on the primary.
