1. This thing makes absolutely no sense.
How could McCain be winning against anybody? He can even break the top four in his own party.

2. National polling of Party Members skews numbers, but Head to Head polling is more predictive...
The 'electability' issue is paramount in the General Election, but it may not be the trump card in a race for the Party's Nominee.

Edwards would be the best choice to run in the General Election because he is most 'electable.'

WHile Rudy, Mittens and Huckabee appeal to Party Repubs, they each have significant drawbacks in the General Election --and in fact McCAin would be the stronger General Election Nominee.

Polling is skewed because of the MSM presentation of certain candidates as being 'inevitable' but that is a changeable designation with little practical value.

6. McCain is nobody's favorite among the Republicans, but few actually dislike him over there.
And independents prefer him over most any of the Republican candidates. He's the only candidate that scares me.

3. Edwards has consistently beat GOP candidates.
Our party and Media have chosen to overlook this and focus
only on Obama and HRC.

Likewise, McCain is the only GOP who for months has beaten HRC.
The GOP and Media chose to focus on other candidates.

5. Yes !
Of the top tier candidates, EDWARDS is definitely the most electable. Not to mention the most Progressive. His coattails will strengthen the congressional majorities ( as opposed to Hillary bringing out the Right in force, and making many on the Left stay home ). He can win Southern/Mid-West states that Hillary ( and frankly, Obama ) wouldn't have a chance in. Even without these silly polls, this should be obvious. The Oprah machine is likely going to turn off more in these states I mention, than otherwise.

If Democrats want to take back the White House, and hopefully get a 60+ Senate majority ( so we can actually DO something ) ... then Edwards is our man. The sooner we realize this, the better. Start spreadin' the news ...
