It depends on who gets the nomination and what they say in their campaigns. On the right, I like Rudy Guiliani because I was working 4-5 blocks from the towers on 9/11 and unlike Bush who froze for 7 minutes like a deer in headlights, Rudy got busy right away and did the best he could to keep New Yorkers together and clean up the mess. Plus, when the idiot Saudi prince tried to donate $10 million to NYC with the admonition "the USA has to share the blame for these attacks" Rudy immediately gave him the check back and told him, in effect, to stuff it.
I liked Romney until he started making stuff up about his past and changing his core positions to placate a lot of ignorant, selfish biblethumpers.
I like Hagel's intensity and integrity but he's a little too conservative for me. Still, I'd vote for him before Clinton.
McCain will say or do anything for power and won't make any appropriate changes. He's a terrible candidate.
I'd really like to see NYC's present mayor, Mike Bloomberg run but I think he wants to retire.
Hillary is a little too liberal for me but I'll listen to her with an open mind when it comes time for the debates.
I like Obama but I will be shocked if America votes a black man into the presidency and even more shocked if some racist fundamentalist doesn't kill him if he's elected. His wife has done some things that go against his platform and stated ideals, so we'll see how far he gets.
Edwards is a little too liberal for me too but he has an integrity that I can appreciate. Plus, being a trial lawyer he is capable of debating issues well enough to win votes in the House or Senate when he needs to get a bill passed.
Iowa's Tom Vilsack would have been great but he dropped out because, in his words, "I'm rock solid, not a rock star." He'll probably be the VP on the dem ticket.
Bill Richardson of New Mexico is probably my favorite democratic candidate right now because he's NOT liberal when it comes to immigration and national security and he's not incompetent about either of those issues the way Bush is.
Right now, I'd like to see it come down to Rudy Guiliani vs. Bill Richardson, in which case, either guy would do a good job and possibly make a great president.
The next president has to be great and not only must undo all the crap that GWB did, but must reign in corporate power. To paraphrase Teddy Roosevelt, one of our greatest presidents, and a Republican: "To give Big Business free reign to do as they please is to virtually enslave the people of the United States."
Eisenhower, another Republican said that if we don't keep the American Military Industrial Complex in check, everything our nation stands for will be lost.
George Washington warned against keeping a standing army as we have now.

I don't know yet for sure but I really like what austingirl wrote for Obama...it's either McCain or Obama as of now. I think McCain is really honest besides the Iraq thing and he has some great ideas for America. Same for Obama and I'm actually glad that he doesn't have as much experience because then he isn't corrupt like other politicians (like what austingirl said)

I am seriously considering voting for anyone that might cancel out a vote for Obama.
I really would like to know why Hillary has to walk around with a target on her back 24/7?

Please give some consideration to third party candidates as I will be voting for the Green Party representatives. My answer can be supported by the ten key values that you can find by perusing any of the Green websites

I'm still looking but out of your selection Edwards or Romney, the rest are hazardous.

Edwards and Romney are the two worst. They don't believe in anything.

Obama.
Many, many reasons.
His rhetoric is hopeful and uniting rather than divisive and full of fear. He is "less experienced" but I think that is a good thing for he is not so muddied by the corruption of Washington. He has worked to lessen the lobbyists influence in the federal government. He doesn't "owe" any PAC or lobbyist anything. He speaks well, is even-handed and would be a great spokesperson for our country.
Check him out for yourself:

Too early for me to make that call...Hillary is totally out of the question though I have no respect for her and each time she shows another fake accent then I lose even more respect for her.

Biden or Hagel only
None of the others
Hopefully a third Party

Hillary Clinton, the most experienced of the group. Politically more savvy, has someone to consult with for any problem that might come her way as president.
