To your IM: The anyone but Bush strategy in 2004 got us Kerry, who was not nearly as electable as someone like Edwards (2004 edition)

The GOP is likely to get their most electable candidate as the 'anyone but' version, so I don't see it as apples to apples

Kerry was arguably the most powerful democrat at the time. - David Oct 17, 13:10 6
- It was Hillary then too. Kerry was the nominee becuase he crested at exactly the right time after Dean imploded. - Whitney Oct 17, 13:14 4
  - It's terrifying how close John Edwards was to the presidency. - David Oct 17, 13:16 2
    - It's amazing how long into the 2008 race he actually thought he should be Atty General. - Will Hunting Oct 17, 13:17
    - And yet....no Bush. - ty97 Oct 17, 13:16
  - ARGH! -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 17, 13:16
- Power doesn't equate to electability though. - ty97 Oct 17, 13:14
Well, it's not apples-to-fruitcakes, either. - Beryllium Oct 17, 13:09
