I love John McCain, and I'm probably in that far left group.
I really don't think that Hillary should run. Not that she wouldn't be an amazing president, because I think she would be. In fact if I had to pick someone based on how well they would do, she'd probably be number one. She is incredibly intelligent, savvy on policy, and has a unique experience. However, and I think this is what many Dems are starting to realize, you can't put the "best" candidate up there, you have to put the candidate up there who can win.
With that in mind...John Edwards is probably the man the Dems should run. Intelligent, great work ethic, young, energetic, great orator (given his trial experience), but with enough of that "aww shucks" southern boy (love that accent) to make inroads with a lot of moderate Republicans and southerners.
A lot of people have pointed to Chuck Hagel from Nebraska as a strong candidate for the GOP. I don't know, I've lived here four years and it doesn't seem like he does much...I'd prefer him over a lot of Republicans, but that isn't saying much...
2016 though...look out for my boy Barak Obama. He should become our first minority President. You heard it here first.
