AP: Edwards says he's strongest pick

Excerpt:
"Presidential candidate John Edwards said Monday that he is the strongest general election candidate in the Democratic field because he's won in the South and his chief rivals have not been tested there.

Edwards said that's true of Democratic primary opponents Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York and Barack Obama (news, bio, voting record) of Illinois, but it also applies to the leading Republican candidates — former New York city Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Arizona Sen. John McCain (news, bio, voting record) and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.

"I think I have the strongest chance of changing the electoral map," Edwards said in an interview with The Associated Press. "If Senator McCain or Mayor Giuliani or Governor Romney, if one of them is the nominee, I think we have a great chance to win, not just Ohio, but to win some Southern states."
