I know you are asking about Indian President. But people are refering to US and other Presidents.
So far as Indian President is concerned, DO YOU HAVE ANY CHOICE OR PREFERENCE ?
There were so many Probable Candidates -
Hon President of India Dr A.P.J Abdul Kalam(will not seek re-election)
Hon. Vice-President of India Mr. Bhairon Singh Shekhawat
Mr Sushil Kumar Shinde Union Power minister and promininant Dalit leader.
Mr Pranab Mukherjee (current external affairs minister)
Dr Karan Singh (diplomat and son of former king of J&K Raja Hari Singh )
Mr Somnath Chatterjee (current speaker of Lok Sabha)
Dr.Manmohan Singh The Current Honarable Prime Minister of India.
Mr C.Rangarajan (Former Reserve Bank Governor and Current Economic Advisor to Prime Minister)
Mr Jaswant Singh (former External affiars minster )
Mr Shivraj Patil (current Union Home minister)
Mr N.R. Narayana Murthy (IT major Infosys founder)
Mr Rahul Bajaj (Prominant Industrialist, Rajya Sabha MP amd grandson of freedom fighter Late Jamnalal Bajaj)
Dr Raghunath Mashelar (prominant scientist, scientific advisor to the PM and former chief of the CSIR)
Mr H. D. Deve Gowda Former Prime minister of India
Mr Atal Behari Vajpayee Former Prime minister of India
Mr I.K. Gujral Former Prime minister of India
Mr V. P. Singh Former Prime minister of India

Dr Mrs Najma Heptullah (former Rajyasabha dy-chairman)
Mr A. M. Ahmadi (Former Chief Justice of India)
Mr V.N Khare (Former Chief Justice of India)
But leaving all Mrs. Pratibha Patel is going to be elected due to dirty Indian Politics. She said she communicated with the spirit of the godman of the ashram, who died 38 years ago..lol..

Some how, some way, the two conventions always manage to dumb down and average out all the brilliant and awful candidates of which each party has their share to two stunningly mediocre men. Kerry WAS NOT the best the Democrats could do last time, and neither was Bush ever one of that party's best and brightest.
The mystery as to why we never get slashingly brilliant candidates from either party is a continuing mystery. I know they're there. They are never in consideration for very long.

I'm for anyone who will, once in office, actually DO the things they promised to do - and not sell out to special interest groups, mega-corporations, fundamentalist pressure groups, the oil industry, the auto industry, corporate agriculture, the immigrant group du jour, the US megalo-military or their own greed.
Oh, and I'd like the Social Security I've been paying into for the last 40+ years to be there when it's my turn to collect.

Ron Paul
"Texas Monthly, calling Paul "both deeply principled and wholly uncompromised," wrote in 2001 that he does not take money from political action committees (PACs), is not swayed by Congressional lobbyists, only votes on his "deeply held beliefs" and does not cut "backroom deals." They write, "The phrase 'honest politician' is an oxymoron; yet in the sense that Paul never, ever votes against his stated principles... the phrase describes him." Along with not signing up for a Congressional pension, Paul's Congressional office returns money to the government each year; in 2000, the sum returned was $50,000.
However, records from the Federal Election Commission show that he does take money from PACs, although much less than most of his counterparts in Congress. Dr. Paul consistently received PAC money during the 1998, 2000, 2004, and 2006 congressional electoral cycles.
In a special report, the group Clean Up Washington listed Paul as taking the seventh-least amount of money from PACs of all members of the House, as well as one of the members of Congress accepting the least amount of money from lobbyists and as ranking fourth in taking the most percentage of contributions from small donors. Their data studied contributions from the 2000 election cycle to midway through 2006. Of the 2008 Republican presidential candidates, he has accepted the least percentage of PAC money." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Paul

Ron Paul best matches my politics...though I'm not in full agreement with him over Iraq or his being pro-life.
Uh oh, I'm pro choice AND I think it would be insane to completely leave Iraq now that we are there. Yeah, good luck finding a political party that supports both of those ideas!!
As for candidates who actually have a chance to win, I'd go with Guliani.
