It depends on what the most likely voters feel most strongly about in terms of issues, that, and the effects of negative advertising. If the issue is foreign policy and national security, then the Republicans stand a good chance, especially as recent elections tend to favor the presidency with one party and the legislature with the other. However, if the American people feel strongly about economic issues and health care and can be convinced that the government should "take care" of them with entitlements and higher taxes, then the Democrats stand a good chance.

While still VERY early in the cycle, the answer to your question (I believe) will depend on OHIO. If things continue as they are now (e.g. disenchantment with the Iraq war, pessimism in the housing and/or credit markets with still high levels of housing inventory), then "Mrs. Bill Clinton" or Barack Obama will be the next President. If, however, while things do not change drastically that (nevertheless) the PERCEPTION becomes that a little bit brighter (e.g. half or more of the maximum troop deployment in Iraq or Afghanistan come home, AND/OR the stock market starts to make fairly consistent, newer highs AROUND MAY/JUNE 2008), then the Republican nominee (Guiliana, Romney, Thompson or Huckabee) will be the next President.
These factors will contribute signficantly to THE OUTCOME IN OHIO. As you know, the Electoral College -- in general, affected directly proportional to representation of the States and by the People -- will determine the next President, and NO REPUBLICAN HAS EVER WON THE WHITE HOUSE WITHOUT OHIO. Of course, history can always change (along with populations) -- and history is less volatile long-term than some of these other economic (long-term in theory but short-term in practice and individual's/families' lives) effects.
If the Democrats again want to put more of their chips on Ohio or Florida once again (Florida is a more difficult challenge) then their vice presidential candidate might be an Ohioan, most likely Gov. Ted Strickland, who is very popular in the state.
Should they decide to go southwestern, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, who is running for president himself in what many believe is an audition for vice president, might well be the choice.

I think you know where lies your choice. No harm eliciting others opinions. But analise them well before drawing conclusions.
