No, when compared to other candidates with similar name recognition they are not meaningless.

No, they really are meaningless.

If you want evidence about Edwards and Obama's skills as campaigners, just look into their political careers and the qualitative assessments people have made of them. This assessment is pretty widely recognized by most. Both have drawbacks, but as I said before the point is not to win the south.

There isn't much else there. Nobody wants another GWB..ie. a lightweight with little expierence and not a big grasp on world issues/topics.

They want someone who will be a good wartime president who has lots of expierence and is or appears moderate/centrist.

I dunno, we haven't seen who the GOP will nominate yet...I'm sure they'd love to put another GWB in the white house.

... 2/3 of the electoral collage is open forfeited anyway. It's the middle 1/3 that's up for grabs. If they can win 51% I don't care if they open forfeit the other 49%.

Well, yeah. Parties do that all the time. The GOP gets half way there just in California. You have to target the swing states: Ohio, Florida, Iowa, Wisconsin. Bush racked up big margins in the South, why would you target them?
