The 2008 presidential mash-up
Is Clinton the best to beat Huckabee? Or Obama to rout Romney? How this year's race makes a mockery of voting for the most "electable" candidate.
By Walter Shapiro [2008-01-17]

  • Who is the least electable among the top candidates from both parties?

    Isn't that another way to arrive at an answer?

    Or,

    Who holds out the best chance for a big margin win against any challenger?

    As a lifelong Democrat I know two things:

    The least electable Democratic candidate is Senator Clinton, and

    Barack Obama has the biggest general margin upside (since Senator Clinton can't overcome the almost 50% of Americans who already will affirmatively vote against her.)
