| 46. I'm not sure which part of the link you are looking at.......? |
|
But, I have two comments:
1. Edwards doesn't beat McCain. 2. Not all Dem Candidates are put up against McCain in these polls (in Fact, Wes Clark isn't listed in any of those polls from that link).
Here's what I see.......John Edwards losing to both Giuliani and McCain...
Both of these GOP men have Foreign Policy and National Security Experience...which is why, both beat Edwards.
Edwards populist message is not enough to win, in this day and age.....as Americans are looking for a strong leader (not one that gets it way wrong before getting it right).
Remember it ain't about how close one comes to winning....cause in this game, winner takes all!
Rudy Giuliani (R) John Edwards (D) Unsure 2/13-15/06 47 44 9 10/12-13 & 17/05 48 43 9 4/18-21/05 45 48 7 2/14-16/05 49 43 8 John McCain (R) John Edwards (D) Unsure 2/13-15/06 47 41 12 10/12-13 & 17/05 49 41 10 4/18-21/05 46 43 11 2/14-16/05 51 39 10
