According to the polls, who is our strongest general election candidate

[skipos]

out of our three frontrunners?

[Deep13]

1. Out of the rock stars, Edwards, no question.

He can flip the most red states.

[Greyhound]

2. A poll on a poll? n/t

[MadBadger]

3. This is a fact question, not an opinion question.

[skipos]

5. I know, but it is interesting that even fact questions get different responses. nt

[MadBadger]

4. I need the choice "other"

[Hawaii Hiker]

6. I like Obama best but:

my gut tells me Edwards is the safest pick for the general election...He should EASILY win the traditional Democratic states: NY, CA, MA, PA, etc., plus should be comeptitive in areas like Nevada, Colorado, Iowa, New Mexico, Missouri....And if he can win these areas, we can say "Fuck the South"!...

7. I like Edwards BUT

how come Hillary is leading all the candidates by at least 16 points.

[Deep13]

11. That's the primary, and Obama is breathing down her neck.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

8. Generic P. Anonymous.

If the Democrats can't win the presidency in '08 with virtually any candidate then they are too incompetent to hold office.

After 8 years of war, scandals, crimes, and a moronic fratboy unfit to "lead" line of slugs, they should be able to run the village idiot as an improvement and win.

9. Carter beat Ford by only 2%

after Nixon and Agnew's mess. Just because Bush Inc has been terrible for America, it doesn't mean that everyone is going to be itching to vote for the (D) in 2008. Dame Rudy and McCain poll surprisingly well for being a pair of Bushbot warmongers.

10. Even tho' my faith in the American voter is minimal after Reagan & Bush I and II

I can't see that the Republicans have any substantial issues to actually run on. Other than the usual tripe of abortion, flag burning, and the gay "menace" which they have run into the ground.

Of course, you may still be right. I was of the opinion that running a certain drooling idiot of an actor was a good thing because Californians couldn't possibly be stupid enough to elect him governor.
