Meet your new thread, same as the old thread.

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

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

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

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 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.

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.
