Too early to say, but right now I'm not seeing anything approaching real leadership from either side of the aisle. Most of them have their heads down and are waiting to see how Iraq pans out, if it works they'll say they were behind it all along, if it doesn't they'll say they've been against it all the time.

I think the only potential canidate that truly understands terrorism at all on a viceral level is Guilianni, but he has some electability issues even among Republicans.

Actually I'd like to see some more from Romney on the issues, he's an interesting guy and I like what I've seen so far about most of his stands, but more info would be a good thing. The Mormon thing could hurt him from two really divergent groups, the hard right religious wing in the Republican party, and the hard left secular wing in the Democratic. Although having both those groups annoyed at you could be a plus with the soft, nougaty mass in the middle as well.

So basically: Too early to say just yet.
