Leaders of party like Edwards' chances
Democrats say he strengthens ticket; Clinton aide disagrees

John Edwards' presidential campaign Friday played what it considers a trump card: the belief that he's more electable than any other Democrat.

In a conference call organized by the campaign, 10 party leaders from across the country said Edwards has the best chance not only of beating a Republican but of ensuring the election of other Democrats.

Not surprisingly, other campaigns disagreed.

"Hillary Clinton is the only Democrat who wins the general election," said Terry McAuliffe, Clinton's national campaign chairman.

Edwards, who trails Clinton and Illinois Sen. Barack Obama in fundraising and in most polls, touts his electability on the campaign trail. As a Southerner and a populist, he says, he has the best chance to pick up so-called red states that tend to vote Republican in presidential races.
