I trust Edwards. He is most charismatic, he is  from the South and he is not too liberal. I think he has good chance to win all Gore's year 2000 states plus North Caroline.

I vote for Edwards. I don't think he will actually beat Bush, but he would have the best chance. He is different enough, good-looking and has the Southern accent as well as the poor background.

Yes, Edwards. If push comes to shove, he's definitely the most electable of all the candidates.

Dean's strange behaviour has been noticed even in Finland.  Our biggest newspaper’s correspondent told that he had really wondered when he had listened Dean’s speech. He told that he couldn’t trust him at all.

Kerry's biggest weaknessis are that he hasn't any charisma and he is from Massachusetts.

Voted Edwards, he looks like the main stream American.  And he seems to be the best mannered as well.

I think Edwards can win if he builds his campaign around a message and doesn't just bet everything on the economy and Iraq falling apart.

That's pretty much what he's doing now.

Edwards is running a positive campaign, so somethign bad doesn't have to happen for him to win.

Hey, I'd vote for Sharpton in a general election.

Personally, before the Iowa speech, I thought Dean had the best chance to beat Bush, but now it's looking like Edwards.

I don't know anything about Sharpton except for a sound byte or two from debate coverage. Somebody told me that she thought he was just running to "make sure certain issues get addressed" and it looks that way certainly.

I'm voting Lieb, but Edwards could be close. I like Sharpton because he connects with most average Americans on issues like not having a clue what the Federal Reserve is. Also, the dems haven't run a racist for president since 1972 (when Wallace ran before he was shot). Nice to hear that stuff treated with respect by the Democratic party again.

If you couldn't tell, this post was sarcastic. Could you tell?

I could. Wallace ran in 1976 as well, in a wheel-chair, and actually got 3rd place in Masschusetts, beating Carter! He lost to Carter in Florida though, and then in North Carolina and had to drop out. He did win MS and Alabama though.
