30. I think any of them except Sharpton
Really, my take on electibility is that it's more based on the campaign the candidate runs opposed to the candidate themselves. If you can make a guy look good, then he looks good...and people will vote for him. Sure, there are factors about the candidates themselves that can hinder them, especially in Sharpton's case (unfortunately, American voters wouldn't elect both a liberal and African-American president), but those can be fairly easily covered up with a good campaign. Of course, that's only my opinion.

But to answer your question more directly, I think they're all as equally electable. Except, unfortunately, in Sharpton's case. Which really is too bad, because he would make a tres excellente president.
