I like Obama. He's the only one in the field that I can stand listening to anymore.

He seems like a genuinely nice guy. I'd invite him to dinner, but wouldn't vote for him

Among his other sins, I think Edwards has jumped the shark recently with his All Populism, All the Time message.

Given his background, it comes across as satire

I cannot bear the thought of reliving the Clinton Drama for another 4 to 8 years.

You ain't kidding, although she is the most "leader-like" of the Dems

On the Republican side, Romney is a cipher, and a transparent one at that, but it seems that he has the potential to be a competent president if it comes to that.

I don't disagree with the cipher comment, but I think it's an unfortunate consequence of candidates all pandering to 250K otherwise unimportant citizens of Iowa.

I admit to liking McCain a little because, well, I still have a soft spot for the guy, despite the neoconservative knucklehead that he's turned out to be.

He's a hero, and gives great TV, but I hate 2/3s of his positions and would rather have a beer with Obama. Or Cheney.

Huckabee is fun to watch, in part because he'll play a role in destroying what's left of the Reagan coalition, but he doesn't really know what he's doing as a candidate, and he's not gonna win anything in any event. He'll have his day in the sun in Iowa, and maybe South Carolina, but far as I can tell, he doesn't have anything approaching a national campaign apparatus, and I think you still need one to actually win a nomination.

In the end - concur. He's a two-trick pony, if that. Crashes faster than Dean. Or Buchanan.
