Reply #35: lame attempt to deny that Edwards is the strongest [View All]

[venable]

why deny the importance of the biggest lead?

you state that you think HRC would be a better president. fine. others think otherwise. but that's not the topic on the table.

the current topic is 'who does the best'. the answer is edwards.

assuming the general election was held today - would you rather the candidate with the highest lead in polls and the best positive/negative ratings be the candidate, or someone with worse pos/neg ratings and smaller lead in the polls be the candidate?

your argument is really that you prefer HRC to edwards, so much so that you are willing to take a smaller chance of winning in order to get your candidate a shot. fair enough, but don't pretend your argument is something other than this, because it can't be, not with the poll numbers where they now stand.
