Who's going to with the upcoming Presidential primaries?

This question was also posed by Aaron.

I will need to go with my gut here.

I believe that Hillary Clinton will sweep the Democrats. I hope she picks Barack Obama as a running mate. I like Barack better, but Hillary is stacking up the funds. Anyway if Barack makes VP we could have our 1st official person of color in the Rainbow House (new name for the White House) in 2016.

I believe that if the Republicans are fed up with themselves they will go with Ron Paul (people actually like his message!) and he could be a serious contender against Hillary...but after having seen the way the California Republicans screwed up the 2002 Gubernatorial race, I wouldn't put it past them to put the wrong guy up in this one. (Richard Riordan was a moderate Republican and the party put up hardliner Bill Simon who lost to Grey Davis. Davis was recalled and Arnold Schwarzenegger, another moderate Republican got in. You would think the Republicans would learn from this.) Anyway, I think the Republicans will put up Rudy Giuliani as a paper target against Hillary Clinton. They would be better off redesigning their platform and abandoning the folks who try to use religion to oppose change, but I wouldn't bet on it.

So here's my prediction for the race: Clinton against Giuliani.

This is different from what I would like to see: Clinton/Obama against Paul/Giuliani.
