Romney is the most conservative of the big 3. He's the best speaker as well. Most conservatives in the know think he'll be the real deal come primary time. Him not doing well with evangelicals only matters for the primary. Theres a big difference between being reluctant to vote for a mormon and voting for Hillary. I really would prefer not to see Jeb on a ticket, but interestingly he polls well as a VP candidate. I still think there will be reluctance to put a Bush on in 08, but Jeb will be involved in presidential politics at some point in the future.
For the left, Obama is a good candidate but once again, I think him running is a potentially severe mistake. I don't think he can win yet, and taking it all the way to the primary or general would mean getting dirty (Edwards 04) and that damages a candidate. Bayh would be a great candidate, but thankfully the DNC won't push him (Same thing as Romney, except that Romney is/will get a lot of RNC support).
