Electability
WaPo editorializes:
We shouldn't equate "electability" with travelling straight down that yellow stripe in the middle of the road, though. That's what the Beltway Dems tried to do in 2002, and the result was disaster. Maybe now that we have the personalities straight, we can start talking about the future of the country and how Bush is wrecking it.
As Jack Aubrey said, quoting Nelson: "Never mind manoeuvres, always go at 'em."
Asked about the most important quality in deciding their vote, 20 percent cited the candidate's ability to defeat the president, second only to the 29 percent who said "he stands up for what he believes."
