I like all of the lists posted by entropy12. HOWEVER, when it comes to this category:

"Who will fight Hillary best effectively in debates:"

HANDS DOWN.... NO CONTEST.... That would be the one not listed, Sarah Palin. Just envision the gorgeous, sweet, intelligent Sarah on the Debate Stage standing next to the old, haggard, bitch Hillary. That alone will be worth 5 percentage points in the polls taken after the Debate.
