Personally, I prefer Obama. He's intelligent, charismatic and knows how to compromise( something the present White House occupant doesn't know the meaning of). He reminds me so much of JFK.
Although I like Edwards, I don't see him as President; Attorney General maybe.
Now the Republican: I wouldn't underestimate McCain. Although he supported Bush in the Iraq war, he doesn't seem to be as uncompromising as W. I don't believe he'd veto the Stem Cell Research Bill. Plus, he has a lot of supporters among Independents. That's why he won the NH primary.
As for Romney, he has the big bucks, but that doesn't always translate into votes. What I do think is impressive is that he is a Republican Governor in a predominantly Democratic state( Mass.). Obviously he attracted a lot of crossover votes, which could be an asset in the general election, but it won't mean squat in the primary.
Personally I don't believe an ordained minister, which Huckabee is, should be running for a political office. In my mind mixing politics with religion is a recipe for disaster. There are many examples of that in the world.
Giulianni, although I think he did a superior job as Mayor of New York even before 911, comes across as a surly type, which doesn't bode well dealing with foreign leaders.
Fred Thompson should go back on Law and Order.
Bloomberg could step right in here, especially if the GOP leaders falter.
