This article is all about "perception," and pays scant attention to GE polling in making the contention that only Clinton could defeat Giuliani and the other Republican front-runners. Rasmussen GE polls have rather consistently shown Edwards to have the best chance against the Republican contenders. Recent SUSA state-by-state GE/Electoral College type polls have shown both Edwards (overall he does best against all Republican contenders) and Clinton to be competitive (Edwards wins some unexpected states, Clinton is stronger in others), but Obama is clearly dead last. These polls are routinely ignored in the media.
