Republicans:

3rd Place: Hillary Clinton
4th Place: Bill Richardson
Romney is going to do well, primarily because of his stance on immigration. Thompson, too. If it was a Romney/Thompson ticket I think the GOP would be unstoppable. Huckabee has blown it, and McCain will probably lose to Ron Paul.
I think Obama is going to do really well, but I think Edwards will surprise people. Many Democrats I've heard from are choosing Edwards as the pragmatic candidate for a variety of reasons: he's not a female former co-president with huge negatives, not black, and in retrospect everybody supporting Edwards in '08 thinks he could have beaten Bush in '04 rather than John Kerry. Remember this about Democrats: winning isn't everything, it's the only thing.

Did I really read that right? You've talked to Democrats who aren't voting for Obama because he's black?
Either that needs to be rephrased, or you need to pick some new friends.
i am going with this.
