Joe Biden’s lead in the Democratic primary field apparently rests on the three legged stool of long-standing familiarity, appreciation particularly among older African American voters as President Obama’s trusted second, and a perception that he is more electable than other Democrats.
Electability is not actually a testable proposition as the Democrats will have only one nominee who will win or lose. Still, the concept of electability is important to voters and thus worth examining. CONT.
