  •  The Polling Says It All (3+ / 0-)

    If you look at the totality of 2008 general elecion polling it becomes crystal clear that John Edwards is the most electable Democrat.

    Go to this blog and see for yourself...

    Team Edwards Blog

    The Rasmussen numbers are on top but scroll down to "2008 Polling - Updated" and you'll see a sample of Edwards' "greatest hits" going back to December(we stopped there out of fairness to Barack Obama)

    Sorry folks, but it's true.  Look at his performance in the statewide polls in Texas, Kansas, Kentucky, and Alabama.

    Not to mention the fact that he wins by large margins in Iowa, Missouri, Ohio, Virginia, New Mexico...You get the point...he wins every swing state by far more than the other two, if they even win at all, and he is the only candidate who can defend the upper Midwest with ease.  

    Sure Obama and Hillary have their moments in the sun during which they outperform the others, but ever since the first 2008 polls were taken in late November 2004 it was clear that John Edwards was the most electable Democrat.  You cannot just ignore years of fairly consistent polling like that.

    Here's what Rasmussen had to say about it...

    On the Democratic side of the aisle, far and away the best general election performance was earned by Edwards. He topped the four Republicans by an average of 51% to 37%. Edwards also outperforms the other Democrats against each Republican challenger.
