Realistically there are only 3 Democrats with a shot at their nomination and 4 Republicans with a shot at their nomination.
These are Clinton, Obama, and Edwards for the Dems.
And Huckabee, Romney, Giuliani, and McCain for the Repubs.
The rest are dead-in-the-water also rans.
I was thinking about what would be the "dream" scenario for each party. As in the matchup involving these 4 candidates which would be most likely to produce a winner in that party's favor.
For the Dems I think their dream scenario has got to be Edwards vs Romney. Edwards is an easy going southerner who has championed individual rights. Romney is an ex-Massachusetts Governor who jumps all over the place with his positions, was born with the proverbial 'silver spoon', and is kinda creepy.
For the Repubs I think their dream scenario has got to be McCain vs Obama. It would be easy for Republicans to contrast the difference in experience between the 2.
For once, we agree. Though I think McCain might have an easier time dealing with Edwards (who is not as strong a GE candidate as he appears, IMO). And if the GOP goes with ROmney I don't think the Democratic candidate would matter much...
