3. Probably Kerry but I won't decide until later
I'm conflicted on a Kerry candidacy. I think Kerry would make a fantastic President. But I also worry that he'll become the 21st Century Tom Dewey. And I'd rather have an influential Kerry around in the Senate or even as Secretary of State than the humiliated twice-loser.

Hence, I'll only support him in '08 for the nomination if the political climate appears favorable to him and he truly seems to be a stronger candidate than he was this time (he was strong, but he did make mistakes).
