I think they all have strengths and weaknesses.....I'll try to break it down candidate by candidate.....
I'll start by saying the person I'd most want to see is Russ Feingold....he's not running......
Hillary is very qualified and experienced based on her relationship with Bill. She's spent time in the White House....has worked with the Legislature in that role and in the senate.....she's extremely bright.
The negative....She blew health care. She had the chance to get a health care policy done...and she ruined it by not representing it well, and by not negotiating well with others. She supported Iraq....that is a huge strike with me.
Obama....The plus is...he's charismatic...he;s obviously very very intelligent....he opposed Iraq all along (one of the very few who did)..he has a vision....
The negatives....he's totally inexperienced and unqualified. He doesn't deserve the nomination. Then again neither did Clinton and he did a good job. Actually only Nixon, LBJ, and Bush Sr. were qualified in the last 50 years of elctions.....I also am not sure if people will support a black candidate....
Edwards....has name recognition from the VP bid....another very bright and charismatic leader.....he;s from the South....I think that's a big plus....
the negatives...not really experienced.....hasn't actually done that much....has an association with Kerry....
Joseph Biden.....VERY experienced....very bright....has been a champion Senator for years......
Negative....didn;t oppose iraq strongly enough for me....he had his chance to run in 88' and quit over a very silly reason. Part of me thinks his time has come and gone......
Richardson.....I think he actually deserves the nomination the most....he is qualified beyond belief....spent time in the Senate, executive experience as a Governor.....was part of the Clinton administration...has foriegn policy experience with the UN (and sorely needed respect which Bush has ruined)...
The negative....he's not as charismatic as some of the others....I see him as more of a standard politician in some ways.......I am not sure people will vote for a Hispanic....have you noticed that every news story about him begins with his being hispanic? They don't mention that based on actual qualifications he and Biden are by far the best cadidates........
I think the most electable ticket would be Edwards as the Presidential candidate....Richardson as the VP.
My choice without thinking about who could win would be Richardson as the Presidential candidate.....Barak as the VP (allow him to gain the experience which is his weak point while adding his vision and energy).
I still wish Feingold would make a run

Hillary Clinton

1. Hillary
2. Barak
They'd make a great pair working together. Hillary's a scorpio and Barak's a leo just like Bill. And despite all Hillary's and Bill's marital problems, they're still committed and together.

Won't vote for Hilary...infact I'll never vote for her. I don't know enough about Obama. Haven't really heard of any good candidates yet.

John Edwards.
Charismatic, qualified, smart, driven, knows what it's like to make yourself something out of nothing (not obligated to the millionaires like Bush)

I am just waiting for the Republicans to get into the race. That is where my vote goes.

I'm voting for Byrd/Specter.
Edit.
Aren't they running? Both are good politicians. How about Webb/Jeb
