I hear all kinds of stuff about which candidates might beat bush. This issue is viewed from two distinct sides. On the one hand, Democrats are very interested in who is "electable," or who is able to win in the general election. Republicans on the other hand, consider who might be the easiest to beat. They take is rather less seriously, but I still wanted to hear from some of the right leaning folk around here about what they think.

A lot of what I hear is rooted in ideology. For example, the most liberal candidate is the best opponent for Bush because liberal values are wrong and people will vote against them. On the flip side, moderate candidates like Lieberman or Edwards are viewed as somewhat more dangerous because they are less liberal, or more like Bush.

In much the same way, my center left bretheren would rather see a Tom Delay run against Clinton than a John McCain.

So, there's a gimmie. The most liberal candidate is the ideal opponent. What are some other ideal matchups for Bush, and why?
