I looked at the latest numbers and applied your methodology to figure out how well the markets think the candidates would do in a general election. Based on the results, Al Gore would be the Democrats’ strongest candidate (85% chance of winning) and Thompson would be the Republicans’ strongest candidate (40% chance of winning). The other scores: Clinton 66.2% Edwards 65.7% Obama 58.9% McCain 39.7% Rudy 38.8% Romney 34%
