1. In an essentially dry biomedical electrode comprising an electrode plate having a first surface and a second surface, said electrode plate having means for electrical connection to a lead wire of an electro-medical device, and a conductive material on said second surface of said electrode plate for enhancing electrical connection with the skin, the improvement wherein said conductive material comprises a swellable, dermally-nonirritating, conformable, cohesive, synthetic, ionic, hydrophilic polymer coating having a continuous covalently-bonded network throughout said coating formed by the essentially solventless process of: (a) compounding an adhesive precursor comprising (1) a water-soluble polyhydric alcohol which is a liquid at about 20° C,; (2) an ionic unsaturated free radically polymerizable material which is soluble in said polyhydric alcohol; (3) a free radical initiator; and (4) a crosslinking agent of a multifunctional unsaturated free radically polymerizable material; (b) coating said adhesive precursor on said second surface of said electrode plate or a releasable transfer sheet; (c) polymerizing said coated precursor whereby an electrically conductive pressure-sensitive adhesive is formed on said electrode plate or transfer sheet; and (d) when said adhesive is formed on said transfer sheet, transferring said adhesive to said second surface of said electrode plate. 2. The essentially dry biomedical electrode of claim 1 wherein the precursor is further comprised of at least one non-ionic unsaturated free radically polymerizable monomer or comonomer which is soluble in the polyhydric alcohol. 3. The essentially dry biomedical electrode according to claim 1 wherein said polyhydric alcohol comprises from about 10 to about 90 parts per weight of said precursor. 4. The essentially dry biomedical electrode according to claim 3 wherein said polyhydric alcohol is glycerol. 5. The essentially dry biomedical electrode according to claim 1 wherein said precursor is comprised of at least 1 part by weight of said ionic unsaturated free radically polymerizable material. 6. The essentially dry biomedical electrode according to claim 5 wherein said ionic material is potassium acrylate. 7. The essentially dry biomedical electrode according to claim 1 wherein the free radical initiator is a photoinitator. 8. The essentially dry biomedical electrode according to claim 7 wherein the free radical initiator is benzildimethylketal. 9. An essentially dry biomedical electrode comprising an electrode plate having a first surface and a second surface, said electrode plate having means for electrical connection to a lead wire of an electro-medical device, and a conductive material on said second surface of said electrode plate for enhancing electrical connection with the skin, said conductive material being a swellable, non-soluble, dermally-non-irritating, conformable, cohesive, synthetic, ionic, hydrophilic polymer coating having a continuous covalently-bonded network throughout said coating, said polymer being derived from the essentially solventless in situ polymerization of an ionic unsaturated free radically polymerizable material dissolved in a polyhydric alcohol which is a liquid at about 20° C. in the presence of a crosslinking agent of a multifunctional unsaturated free radically polymerizable material and a free radical initiator. 10. An electrically conductive swellable, non-soluble, dermally-nonirritating, conformable, cohesive, synthetic, ionic hydrophilic adhesive coating having a continuous covalently-bonded network throughout said coating derived from an essentially solventless polymerization of a precursor comprised of a water-soluble polyhydric alcohol which is a liquid at about 20° C., an ionic unsaturated free radically polymerizable merizable material which is soluble in said polyhydric alcohol, a crosslinking agent of a multifunctional unsaturated free radically polymerizable material and a free radical initiator soluble in said polyhydric alcohol, said polymerized precursor resulting in an adhesive coating which is characterized in that it is an electrically conductive polymer. 11. In a biomedical electrode comprising an electrode plate having an upper surface and a lower skin-directed surface, means for electrically connecting said electrode plate to the lead wire of an electro-medical device, and a coating of an electrically-conductive pressure-sensitive adhesive on said lower surface of said electrode plate for enhancing electrical connection with the skin, the improvement wherein said adhesive coating is swellable, dermally-non-irritating, conformable and cohesive, and is formed from an adhesive precursor comprising: (1) a water-soluble polyhydric alcohol which is a liquid at about 20° C.; (2) an ionic unsaturated free radically-polymerizable material which is soluble in said polyhydric alcohol; (3) a photo-initiator; and (4) a crosslinking agent of a multifunctional unsaturated free radically-polymerizable material; said adhesive precursor being photo-polymerized in situ whereby said adhesive coating is a continuous covalently-bonded network throughout said coating. 12. The improvement according to claim 11 wherein said adhesive precursor further comprises at least one non-ionic unsaturated free radically-polymerized monomer or comonomer which is soluble in said polyhydric alcohol. 13. The improvement according to claim 12 wherein said non-ionic unsaturated free radically-polymerizable monomer is acrylic acid and said ionic unsaturated free radically-polymerizable monomer is a salt of acrylic acid. 14. The improvement according to claim 13 wherein said salt of acrylic acid is potassium acrylate or sodium acrylate. 15. The improvement according to claim 11 wherein said adhesive precursor further comprises a tackifier. 16. The improvement according to claim 11 wherein said tackifier is polyacrylic acid.
