The spin coming from the media and the Kerry campaign is that Kerry’s wins in Tennessee and Virginia are proof of his electability in the south. How so? I’m sure Al Gore won most of the southern Democratic primaries in 2000 (don’t make me look it up), that certainly didn’t prove he was the most electable candidate in November. Winning Democratic primaries in Republican states doesn’t mean much in terms of electability if by electability you mean actually getting elected. In a match-up against Bush, I have no doubt that Edwards would do better than Kerry would in, say, Alabama.
