Of the candidates running right now...
...only Romney and Perry can actually win the nomination. Amongst those two, Perry will be favored insofar as he is viewed, at minimum, "electable" or "as electable as Romney." This is his present standing, so henceforth he should be favored at this point.
Bachmann has shown that she is basically not ready for prime time (and probably never ready), though she could well finish second in Iowa. Ron Paul could well get 10%-15% in Iowa, but has no chance of winning. The rest are jokes.
Caveat: It's far too early for me to be making real predictions. Just some Labor Day observations.
