    Voters?

    If we're polling likely voters, then all of the above (in the editor's choice letters) probably holds true, but if we are looking at who will really have to work with the president of this country, the corporations which have all too much to say about national policy, then Clinton will be perfectly acceptable. It won't be as good for average people as one would like it to be, but a Clinton presidency won't cause too much angst in the boardrooms of America. I don't think that's true of an Edwards presidency and Obama is still an unknown quantity for them, but Hillary? they know they can work with her, more's the shame.
