While Democrats like to fall in love with a candidateHoward Dean or Senator Obama, for exampleRepublicans prefer picking winners.
The Democrats did not pick Howard Dean -- they picked John Kerry, who they considered the most electable.
Barack Obama is more electable than the widely disliked Hillary.
They got stuck with Kerry after the "scream."
>Barack Obama is more electable than the widely disliked Hillary.<
Sounds like a high school popularity contest to me. Obama oould beat Hillary because he’s sexier, and untried, while Hillary is too tried and too tired.
Now the mature voter will decide on an unblemished, experienced, capable, sincere and multi-issue candidate like Duncan Hunter.... who isn’t too bad, either, come to think about it! :o)
