I am really going to go out on a limb and say

President - Governor Mitch Daniels of Indiana
Vice President - Governor Jan Brewer of Arizona

The first time since 1912 that a ticket of two Governors was elected.

No one would pick an unelected Governor as their VP.

A Republican that we aren't naming right now.

A stealth candidate presented as a "moderate" because he has no legislative record or an obscure one? Someone now a~~n attorney general or secretary-of-state of a small state~~ state senator?

That just gives the ~~Democrats~~ Republicans a great campaign slogan about the stealth candidate:

You know ~~President Obama~~ Senator McCain -- but do you really know ~~(name name)~~ Barack Obama?

If people are comfortable with ~~Obama~~ Bushand the GOP in ~~2012~~ 2008, then they will ~~re-elect him~~ elect John McCain.

To be fair, it's not the most perfect strategy...

Not only that, but I don't even think Obama is all that comfortable with himself as president... let alone anyone else.

I am assuming that Jan Brewer wins her own term in 2010. She is running as the GOP candidate for the 2010 election.

I do agree McDonnell does have a very impressive resume.

He'd have been Governor for less than 2 years when he runs for President. Hardly impressive.

Obama had an extra year. Don't tell me that extra year wasn't important. If Obama had assumed office at the beginning of 2006 instead of 2005, he wouldn't have been able to run for president.

...which is why that extra year is even more important. It would have been far harder for him to succeed if he had been elected in a November 2005 election.

I think there's about a 55 percent change that Obama wins again.

But a lot depends on who the Republicans nominate and, to a greater degree than in the past, how the campaigns are run. My guesstimate is that the modern media revolution is not done in its influence on political outcomes, and we'll see further deepening and broadening of that in 2012... Social networking and technology continues to open up fertile new ground to campaign managers to innovate and control their strategies far beyond what the 20th century managers and strategists were able to do.

Barack Obama. I think it's pretty likely he'd have won re-election by a considerable margin, too.

If the economy has rebounded nicely, there are no unpopular foreign wars and no major scandals, directly implicating the president, I fully expect Barack Obama to be President

on 21st January, 2013

Failing that, it will be some Republican

Hopefully, if unemployment continues to fall, and if the economy begins to create jobs, it will be Barack Obama.
