38. Why not elect the best candidate to win the General Election? Why chance losing the General Election
Time and again Edwards has the highest winning margins over the Republican Candidates on a head to head basis.

It is imperative that we win back the White House in 2008. Why not elect as our Party Nominee the Democratic Candidate with the best chance of winning the General Election?

Support for Edwards is building even though the MSM has attempted to marginalize him.

Don't forget that an Edwards Administration would be populated with lots of progressive Democrats who today have a voice but not much actual power to change things.

Edwards has thrown down the gauntlet to corporate and elite power brokers, and it would be a huge change to have a President that puts the people first and not the moneyed special interests.

Make no mistake about it. Edwards is the candidate the Repubs fear most, not Hillary or Obama.

Thanks Sapphire for this OP!
