I'm not fond of any of the proposed guys, either side. But if I had to pick today

Dem: Dodd, with Obama as VP

Rep: McCain, with Paul as side-kick

Either duo are not afraid of a bit of hard, dirty work (which whoever wins will face for at least 3 of their 4 years in office); they know the levers of gov't, they're very familiar with international relations; they probably won't burn down the White House in their first 100 days, or take away my house, or get my soldier-son killed on an 'elective war', or further alienate the 'other' side.

I'd generally like a non-DC insider (guv, mayor, movie star), but the non-DC guys on those slates don't (IMO) rise to the level of focused vision I think we need in the cloudy next 4 years.

That said... I bet 5 bucks the Hildabeest and Huckleberry come out on top in Ioway.
