re: #185 KGxvi
In the modern era (post-1964), anyone who wins a major party presidential nomination is by definition electable. McGovern might by the only exception to this, but that nomination was… weird. Even Mondale was briefly within the margin of error.
Some are more electable than others. OTOH, it looked like Obama was dead in the Summer of 2008 when Rev Wright surfaced. He pulled it out with the best speech of his life, and I don’t know if anyone new could do that.
