If your candidate gets nominated, what would be his or her biggest strength against the GOP?

[Colobo]

Please limit your answer to ONE strength.

I say Barack Obama's Unity message is his biggest asset against Republicans.

1. I say Kucinich's integrity will stand in stark contrast

...to the corruption of any Reep.

2. And offer a real alternative to right wing policy. (nm)

...

[smalll]

3. Inevitability. /nt

[Democrat 4 Ever]

4. Walks upright, knuckles don't drag the ground and speaks English and has an IQ over 32..

That includes anybody who doesn't have a "R" after their name.

7. Well, I agree the Dem is a heavy favorite in '08, whoever it is.

I just worry that the dude whose middle name is Inexperience (yeah, that's what "Hussein" translates to in English) or the other guy with the H-issues (house, haircut, hedgefund and hyperbole) might still find a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. :shrug:

12. Hillary is the one I can't see being a heavy favorite.

She starts at a serious disadvantage. She isn't winning many states beyond the Democratic base. Her gender will hinder her because of latent sexism. What she's trying to do here would be unprecedented of course.

5. Repubs will try to use security issue to advantage. Biden trumps them on security

Joe Biden's has 3 major strengths to play against the Republicans: 1) Foreign policy 2) Experience 3) Electability. Biden trumps all candidates, Democrat and Republican, in these three areas.

[w4rma]

6. Ability and willingness to garner blue dog and bipartisan support for progressive legislation. (nt)

[fenriswolf]

8. the biggest reason

kucinich will win is because he represents the people not the democrats

[Frances]

9. I like this question

because it shows Dems think like winners.

[kad7777]

10. JOE BIDEN

He's smarter than all of them put together.

[MissWaverly]

11. he will not smirk

I am so sick of the republican smug, arrogance, fat cat demeanor, none of our candidates look like they need drug rehab
or a swift kick in the pants.

[smalll]

13. I guess you're not an Edwards supporter /nt

[MissWaverly]

14. as a matter of fact, I am not

my choices are: Al Gore, Dennis Kucinich and Barack Obama.

[PatSeg]

15. Ability to get legislation through congress

Though Biden is known for his foreign affairs experience, in order to implement any positive changes in Iraq and the Mideast, he has to be able to work effectively with congress.
