2. Obama. Without any doubts.
Throw out Obama's Slide to the Center, throw out his abandonment of 15 MILLION in his so-called Health Care "Plan," throw out his vacuous "Hope" vs real suggestions message...

He will be running against one of two of the ol' "Solid South's" poster kids: Romney or Huckabee. I am no racist, and I don't care about the new president's color, sex, or sexual orientation, but Obama has about as much chance of winning below the Mason/Dixon line as Vladimir Putin. And if you don't think there are racists in the NORTH, well...I have property to sell you.

3. Edwards- they don't need to use dog whistle attacks
they can go for the full frontal blast. They'll paint his as a flip flopping phony- juxtaposing his record and his current words. They'll show pictures of his house with JE asking Americans to make sacrifices by giving up their SUVs. And that's just for starters. Add to that, that JE will be out of money by March if he's the nominee, and totally dependent on the 527s he's so criticized, and there's another place to attack. He won't be able to run ads positively framing himself and defending himself from attacks- and neither will the 527s or the DNC. That's prohibited by the law.

6. Perry, I don't like Clinton....
But Obama is using "AA" league tactics in a Major Leagues world, Kucinich hasn't got a prayer, Edwards is a VERY long shot, Biden? FUGEDABOUTIT.

To protect our junkyard, we just might need a junkyard dog.

5. The top two
problem is, neither of those two like to fight back against Republicans, so the attack ads will be very effective.

More specifically, neither of those two can fight back against attack ads because they've both taken so much money from GOP donors. If they fight back, they lose money. Its a no win situation.
