McCain and Edwards Are Their Party's Strongest Candidates

If by strongest one means who's most likely to win. I find that completely unsurprising. That said, I think in the grand scheme of things, looking out 11 months, Edwards' strengths are actually not much (if any) better than Obama's given that he's announced he'll accept the limits that come with public financing. I don't think any Democrat who wants to win in November 2008 should support a candidate who'll be doing that. But if he hadn't decided to go that route I think he'd be the strongest Democrat. Which is of course why early on we saw the puff/attack stories we did on his hair and his house.

If by strongest one means most likely to win at this particular moment.

I still think that, in the general, Obama would be stronger than either Hillary or Edwards.
