Electability is the wrong question to ask
I'm getting very tired of debates over the electability of Obama and Clinton. This is the very same debate that got us John Kerry last time around. He may not be the best candidate, but he's the most electable with his long resumé and sterling war record. The primary voters--well, many of us anyway--held our nose to vote for him in the primary for that reason and you remember what happened. We can't predict what will happen in the general election, so we should stop guessing and instead vote for the candidate you feel most represents your values and would do the best job once in office. I promise you that the Republicans will come after whomever wins, with guns ablazing, so it's pointless to worry over which candidate has the most baggage for the independents. If the candidate doesn't have any baggage, the Republicans will just make something up--Barrack Obama won't say the pledge of allegiance anyone?
