19. Edwards is the least UNelectable

Essentially, he has the least negatives. Hillary is a woman and, worse, a Clinton. Obama is black, I don't know if that would make a difference to enough people to swing the election. I'd like to hope not but I couldn't say.

Edward's main weaknesses are that he's a trial lawyer and the public have been trained to dislike trial lawyers and he's perhaps a little too slick.

One thing though: He's Southern. What is it with the US where most Presidents have been Southerners or Southern by adoption?
