Re: Kerry Finishes Dead Last In Likeability Poll
Both parties have to be careful of who they prop up as their nominee in 2008. The word "electability" will be something you'll hear all the way till the primaries are held. Personally, I don't think the front runners you see today will be the people we speak of 2 years from now. I think there are vast questions about all of them. On the surface, most look "likeable", but when the race starts to get juicy, most of the likeables will drop off. I actually think the only guy that might have a shot is McCain since he's very moderate, and generally well liked in both parties. However, he is very bland, and might be a little too old for some voters. Hillary might be like Kerry, liked by alot, but hated by many more. I'm not sure about her "electability". Obama is far too green (see John Edwards). I've maintained that Obama would serve his chances better by running for governor of Illinois. If he served a term or two as governor, he might be a shoe in as a president. Of course his actions as governor considered. Remember that governors have a far better history of being elected president than do senators.
