    Last time I checked

    the President of the United States was chosen by the Electoral College who have the power to undermine the popular vote. Given this dynamic, the "electability" of any candidate, Democrat or Republican, is a secondary issue. The victory will go to the party that can convince, bribe, cajole, coerce or otherwise influence the members of the Electoral College. God Bless America.
