Why stop with electability?
Electability, which factors in guesses about what other people will tolerate, becomes complicated when more than one candidate is electable.

Welcome to the next level.

As a tiebreaker, the challenge could well be to guess which "electable" candidate most others will conclude is most electable and therefore choose that one. Thus: electachoosability.

With so many electable candidates, which of the current crop is most electachoosable?

1. need help with example?
John Kerry's early primary victories have not just given his campaign a boost. They have also moved him to prominence in discussions about that set of candidates who might be considered electable.

If we can guess that more and more people will consider Kerry electable (beyond the same increases that other candidates might get), then he would currently be the most electachoosable.

It's easy and fun!

2. Heh Heh. The poltiican with the most elctachoosability is...
Dwight David Eisenhower.

But, considering his views on the Military-Industrial Complex, if he was running the Imperial Family would have to exhume the body, put it on a small plane, then crash it with all aboard.

3. as long as the accident is scheduled ...
then I see no harm in the plane crash leaving the candidate, well, stone dead.
