Reply #9: Why do you think to the General Electorate... [View All]

...that Obama is more electable and Edwards is not?

I think that to the Dems that Obama is probably more popular, but to a variety of people I have been speaking to who cover all the way from mega conservative to former Kucinich workers, the one person who has the widest appeal is Edwards. Also, what I am seeing is that Hillary is truly disliked by people in general. And it is a personal type thing with a lot of people ~~ they are clueless on her policies, but they know they dislike her. She has so many negatives connected with her...it scares the hell out of me if she is our nominee for POTUS.

I do think that Obama could beat a Repiggie...but I think that Edwards has the better shot because he has more across the board appeal and I an NOT talking race issues here at all. Most of what I hear is the lack of experience....and nothing to do with the color of his skin.
