As this piece on the Rolling Stone website points out, Edwards is the Democratic candidate who consistently polls best against possible Republican challengers. Rasmussen's polling supports that claim. And, he's leading the Democratic field in Iowa. While the Rasmussen piece shows that he now has only a two point advantage over Giuliani, you have to remember that most voters have not yet really tuned in to the race. I wager that when they have the opportunity to look at John Edwards the family man who is devoted to his wife of 30+ years, and compare that to Giuliani who is three-times maritally challenged, that gap will widen.
Do you think that it is possible that Democrats will finally get it right? Is it possible that we will finally get the candidate through the primary who can win the general election? We just might. Here's a clip from the Rasmussen article:
Senator Edwards is now viewed favorably by 55%, unfavorably by 42%. Both numbers are at the high end of his ratings over the last six months. In addition to his edge over Giuliani and McCain, Edwards leads former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, and former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson.
