From what I see so far NOBODY on the Republican side unless either Kucinich or Edwards are the DEM nominees.
Then maybe I'd go with Ron Paul.
My first pick would be Clinton then Obama.

Senator Joe Biden is the only candidate with a plan to get this country SAFELY out of Iraq. By proposing a political solution which consists of separating the three ethnic parties of Iraq into their own regions and giving them control over their daily lives. There will still be a centralized government that controls border security and oil revenues but by giving these ethnic regions control over their own lives, the chaotic violence will heavily decrease. Biden's political plan has worked in Bosnia for over 10 years.
Joe Biden has been serving in the Senate for 35 years. Working along-side Republican collegues, Biden has had bi-partisan support for health care reform, immigration reform, education reform, crime laws, as well as foreign policy. Biden's plan for Iraq has gained support from 75 Senators including many Republicans including Sam Brownback. Biden has the experience to unite this country as well as the incredibly divided Congress.
Fun little side-note: When Pakistan was in crisis, President Musharraf called and spoke with Senator Biden even before he contacted President Bush. Guess world leaders value the Senator a little more than our own President.
BIDEN 2008!

Ron Paul.
He is clearly the only candidate worth voting for this election.

Huckabee:
1. Pro-education
2. Pro-environment
3. Anti-illegal immigration
4. Pro-border fence
5. Candidate with integrity
6. 10+ years of executive experience in a democratic state
7. Pro-life
8. Proactive on health care rather than reactive
9. Fiscally conservative
10. Kept a balanced budget throughout his term as Gov.
11. Pro-2nd Amendment
There are plenty more reasons, but these are the keys.

Likely Ron Paul as well. I like his personal freedom politics and his foreign policy. Ever since 9/11, the U.S. has been spiraling into a government that is over protective, under secured and suspicious of its own citizens. One by one, from wiretapping to the whole tracking of library books that patrons have borrowed from the library, our government is becoming more invasive in the private life of its citizens. And still terrorism exists.
Like Ron Paul said, we need to find out why they hate us, not just go over, obliterate them and build a culture of hate.
I also appreciate tightening up our fiscal policies. Making the government more responsible with spending of public tax dollars. I support many socially conscious programs but if they are going to be funded with public tax dollars, there needs to be oversight.
Other candidates are uninspiring, unready, or just plain off track, in my opinion.

Mitt Romney is looking better and better to me while the others are looking worse and worse.
I really like the fact that Mitt is a successful businessman. Who understands what creates jobs and makes a successful economy better than a successful businessman? When the olympics were a $ losing proposition he got involved with the Salt Lake olympics and made it a success. We need that kind of tried and true leadership.
Unlike the last several presidents Mitt is sincere and is a wonderful and inspiring communicator.
I like that he was a leader in Mass and supported traditional marriage. I also like that he is strong against illegal immigration. We need a leader who is not soft on illegals and tied to mexico.
Right now my vote would go to Mitt Romney for president.

Obama, though I think this country needs to look at our international policy.
