The only real difference I see between the two is that Edwards wants to the the trial lawyers get a cut of the redistribution of wealth and Obama wants it done by the government alone. I'm really confused how peopel can have people like Paul and Obama right next to each other on their list. Am I missing something about Obama?

I think views like your comparison of Obama and Edwards comes from people not really understanding Obama's position on issues.

Obama favors a working class tax cut of $500 per person and $1000 per family. Edwards talks about the very general removal of the tax cuts for the "rich" without specifics on who the "rich" are.

Edwards wants to create a work "bond" basically giving a $500 handout to families in poverty as savings. He wants us to save money for them although in fairness his plan does make that available to people up to 75k in income. Obama has no such silly ideas. His plans are all based on giving tax savings to the working class and tax savings to corporations for keeping jobs in America, environmental efforts etc.

Edwards seeks to punish the wealthy and go after the evil corporations, Obama seeks to reward hard work among individuals and responsible business practices among corporations.

I could go on and on but I'm at work and don't have time. Read Obama's position papers then read Edwards and you will see the mountain of difference between the two.
