Bush is gonna win, partially because the most likely Democratic candidate (Dean) is by a good margin the most liberal candidate the Democrats have run in a long time with the country trending conservative, and partially because of what Gonzo said, Republicans will run a campaign based around patriotism and image rather than issues and substance, and probably gain enough support to win. Also, I don't think any of the candidates are as good as Clinton was, nor is the country in as bad shape as it was in 1992 when Bush the First was unseated.
I think it sucks and I'd vote for anyone on that list over Bush (except possibly Liberman, he's almost as bad as dubya is), but I think the sad fact is were facing 4 more years of Bush.
Also Sleeper, Dean is the frontrunner because he's raised the most money, and also is leading for the same reason that he'd lose the general election: he's getting the far left's vote. Organized Labor and other bread and butter Democratic backers like Dean much more than the others.
