Electibility = garbage
Haven't we learned anything from McCain2000 Kerry2004 ? When a person says who they think is most electibile, what the hell do they base that conclusion on? "Uhhh, I think most people will vote for person X." That is pure speculation! No one can reliabaly speak for what others will do, even if you gather up a few thousand people they still have no idea what anyone else will vote for.
Head to head matchups speak loud and clear. A polled person in a head to head matchup has to make a decision for themselves, instead of speculating about how others will vote. A person knows how he himself will vote, most of the time. However, only the chattering pundit class assumes they can guess how others will vote. Do you recall how inevitable Romney was in Iowa? Do you recall how inevitable Guiliani was in SC? Huckabee is beating them both in both states now. Even people who get paid to speculate about how other people will vote are usually wrong. So I see no reason to take these "electibility" polls seriously.
