3. polls
don't say shit about electability unless they are dem vs rep.

Edwards does best in those, every time.

Polls of dem vs dem just say who is ahead in getting nominated, not elected. And history tells us the Democrats are really terrible at nominating electable candidates.

4. Electability is a non issue
Kerry was the electable candidate. Why fall back into that stupid trap? The republican candidates are all basket cases and they all lick Bushes boots. They are toast regardless.

5. you contradict yourself
by any reasonable measure bush was a blithering idiot BEFORE he got into office and proved it. And yet... and yet... he was RE-elected.

Of COURSE Kerry was more electable, in a sane world.

The world is no more sane now than it was then. If being patrician and eating brie is enough to get the masses to reject Kerry, how can... oh, never mind. There is no point in explaining the bleeding obvious yet again to someone with stars in their eyes.
