Bush daughter on the right is pretty hot. The one on the left isn't.
In response to the OP" know one knows. It's too wide open, and too many of the candidates have big weaknesses as far as primaries.
McCain has the biggest name recognition, but he has managed to anger everyone, and he has flip-flopped enough to have lost most of his "straight talk" credibility.
Guliani has name recognition and appeal to the moderates, but his pro-Abortion social positions will alienate the Christian right.
Mike Huckabee is an affable fellow with executive experience. He's right wing socially, but his populist politics and his history of raising taxes will alienate the free market and libertarian Republicans.
Tom Tancredo will strongly appeal to the populist right and the Lou Dobbs crowd, but he'll be seen as too far right to be electable.
Jeb Bush would be the candidate most Republicans would prefer, but the Bush name makes him totally unelectable.
I don't know about other candidates / potential candidates.
Edit:
I forgot Mitt Romney. He has executive experience, but he is socially moderate, seen as a tax raiser, and is a Mormon to boot. He'll likely scare off both the Christian conservatives (who don't see Mormonism as Christian) and the economic right wingers.
I think it'll be between Romney, McCain, Hagel and Rudy
Romney will get a higher precent of the social and/or religious conservatives but he's limited because of his former positions which were rather liberal. Brownback will drop and his support will boost Romney. McCain's main support wont be too happy with the war and the acceleration, and if things dont get better McCain takes the biggest hit of the 4 followed by Rudy.
I just dont know if Rudy can win the GOP nomination, he's just too liberal on issues important to both religious and non-religious conservatives. McCain's fate lies with the war, he'll benefit most with greater success in Iraq. If Baghdad is still on fire in 12-15 months, he's gonna lose.
Brownback looks viable to conservatives but he's got Abramoff trouble, Huckabee might start building support if he can show separation from the pack but I dont think he's conservative enough to create separation.
Hagel will get support from former McCain supporters but he's losing support from the quasi facist base of the party that believes opposition to Bush and his policies is tantamount to treason. I understand Hagel is actually fairly conservative, moreso than the pack. His fate lies with the war as well, if the situation improves dramatically McCain gets more votes, if the situation continues more or less the same or worse, Hagel gets more votes.
I dont think the surge will work, it aint enough imo, so Hagel will compete with Romney and Rudy. But Hagel is sufficiently conservative to create separation. If its Rudy and Hagel, I think Hagel wins. If its Romney and Hagel, Romney wins. And Romney beats out Rudy. It really depends on Fox news and talk radio, if they line up behind Rudy they may be able to convince enough conservatives to support him... And he is favored by the GOP media so far... America's Mayor needs an image makeover and I just dont know how many times the talking heads on tv and radio can convince the moralists and gun owners to believe their crappola.
