"Electable"

Democrats are right to be concerned about which of our candidates is the most electable. But what does “electable” mean?

It means: the one who will get more votes than Bush, and enough more this time that Scalia can’t get involved. Beyond that, I’ve tried to come up with my own clever and insightful critique of the received wisdom about who is electable and who isn’t, but I can’t do any better than this Tom Tommorrow cartoon.
