...Edwards has argued that he is the most electable based on how the electoral map will look, saying, “I am the strongest candidate on the Democratic side in these battleground areas.” Anti-Clintonites have cited a recent Zogby poll that showed 50 percent of the country would never vote for her, the highest percentage of opposition for any candidate of either party. But according to a recent Times/CBS News poll, voters in Iowa and New Hampshire consider her the most electable among Democrats...
