Electability it would seem not ideology is the motivation of many people voting in the democratic primaries. Were you to vote in the primary how much weight would the candidates electability play in your decision.
Electability plays a huge part for me.
I compare it to choosing what flavor of icecream you like. You know that if you choose some you will not get the icecream.
So when you make the choice, do you pick your favorite ice cream (even if it's not available) or do you pick from the available ones?
I would put electability first on my list if I were a Democrat -- which I am not.
And I might share that I hope it is last on the list of any Republicans.
Frank, you touched on something I noticed a lot. Both sides advocate that the other not vote based on electability.
It makes sense, Craven.
I have a good Republican friend who has been suggesting that Lieberman would make the best candidate for the Democrats -- and he comes up with all sorts of reasons for the notion!!!
