I say neither because this country typically picks former governors or administrators to be the president.
GW Bush- Governor
Clinton- Governor
GHW Bush- UN Ambassador, Vice President (the Executive branch of the government is closer to an administrative post than the other branches)
Ronald Regan- Governor
Jimmy Carter- Governor
Richard Nixon- Vice President
Lyndon B. Johnson- Vice President
Eisenhower- Supreme Allied Commander
Truman- Vice President
FD Roosevelt- Governor of NY, Assistant Secretary of the Navy
Hoover- Secretary of Commerce
Coolidge- Governor and Vice President
Wilson- Governor
Taft- Governor (of Philippians) and Secretary of War
Teddy Roosevelt- Secretary of the Navy, Governor and Vice President
The first sitting Senator to be elected was Warren Harding was the Lieutenant Governor of Ohio. John F. Kennedy followed him. So the chances of being elected to the office of the Presidency as a sitting Senator I guess is not that good. Although, some of the Presidents had some Senatorial experience.

I can't say either of them will. Hillary has too many closed doors. There isn't enough reason to trust her. She votes one way and tries to say something else. Do we really like her enough as a person? She always seems so cold, well I guess being married to Bill I would be as well. Furthermore, what most Americans will ask are we really ready for a female president?
As for Obama, well he is a new comer. He will have to be in the light a lot more for people to vote for him. But if we look at history Kennedy got elected in the 60s with being little known before his run.
Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama currently are viewed as the leading likely contenders for the Democratic presidential nomination, which will be decided in early 2008. I saw today that Al Gore, Jeb Bush, Elizabeth Doyle, and Evan Bayh. There are so many that have their names in the hat that all I see is a lot of no-chancers of getting elected.

Edwards. Neither of the republican picks for a candidate--clinton or obama, are electable so whomever runs on the repub ticket will win by default. The repubican-leaning press is giving all of the news support to clinton and obama, but the average guy or gal doesn't even like them.

If any of them I'm not sure. Obama is younger then many former presidents but I think he is a very popular nominee. Hilary on the other hand is thought of as shrill simply because she is a woman, and I would love to see a woman president but i dont think that Americans are.

Neither. The Evangelicals/Fundamentalist Christians will never vote for Hillary or Obama. And if they don't get at least part of that vote they will never win.

The answer is neither. But the reason is simple: those who poll high early with big hopes never win. Take John Glenn 1984 or Phil Graham 1996. Neither got their party's nomination though were supported earlyin polls.

I hope for Obama but I don't know if it will happen. It is too soon to really tell anything anyway.
