Clinton:
And all delegates have to assess who they think will be the strongest nominee against McCain and who they believe would do the best job in bringing along the down-ballot races and who they think would be the best President.
Chris Bowers:
The real problem is that of the three factors Clinton thinks delegates should take into account, electability concerns are the first two factors. How empty and soul-less are she expecting the party to be? This constant talk about electability is actually making her less electable. If Hillary Clinton’s campaign is going to have any chance whatsoever, it needs to start making a case as to why she would be a better President, not just a more electable Democratic nominee.
Elections are about getting elected. She always talks about why she’d be a better President. Eat more meat?

Electability, as a word, indicates that the person has the right backgrounds, experiences, profiles to be elected, I thought. I did not associate the word with some popularity contest, which Obama is on.
It has been a human history that democracy has chosen a wrong leader, because not all general public are motivated to vote for someone electable. Sometimes, they vote, just because the person is likable or looks better or all sorts of other reasons.

I see, I am not a guy, and I don’t drink, so I could not see why he is likable…

It’s mostly men who are pushing Obama.
