I don't know if the Democrats have any strong candidates other than Hillary at this time. Hillary is big with the female voters but can she carry enough of the male vote. Hey I heard Jesse Ventura with Howard Stern is going to run as an independent.

Marco Rubio is my pick for the Republican ticket. He ticks all the boxes for what they need to win - crazy right wing enough to appeal to the base, yet Hispanic enough to get the Latino vote, and yes, I realize that most Latinos don't consider him Latino enough because he's Cuban, but heck, Obama is technically half white yet still got 95% of the black vote.
Kelly Ayotte will be president one day, might not be for another twenty or thirty years, but I really think she'll be the first female president.
Hillary Clinton is the obvious favourite for the Democratic nomination, so much so that the next favourite is Andrew Cuomo at 14-1. We are so far away from the primaries even getting going so it is tough to make a prediction. It is the Republican's nomination to lose, much like the Democrats could have ran a paper weight against McCain and won after eight years of Bush. Evan Bayh would be a great president, if he can be convinced to throw his hat in the ring, which I very much doubt.
