Reply #1: Edwards is the most electable. [View All]

There are so many Democrats that are angry at George Bush that the blue states will be a piece of cake. We need to win the red states and Edwards is best positioned to do that.

The South and Midwest have been hit hard by the economy due to the economic and trade policies of the Bush administration, and Edwards connects best with these voters.

Being a son of the South, the social conservatives are most comfortable voting for Edwards. He proved this in South Carolina and in the exit polls that show him performing the best among Independents and Republicans.

Edwards fits the populist mold of Clinton and Reagan who unseated incumbent Presidents. He fits the mold of John Kennedy, who overcame stigmas of youth, inexperience, and Catholicism by inspiring and charming Americans to beat a two-term VP. He even fits the mold of George W. Bush, who overcame allegations of drug use and limited intelligence by connecting with the regular American to beat a two-term VP.

Only one incumbent Republican Senator was defeated in 1998. The man that did it? John Edwards. If you need a man to take out an incumbent President, Edwards is your man. He is the most electable by far.
