President Obama? Probably. As much as I disapprove of him, I'd rather him be president than a religious extremist like Huckabee, a lying turncoat like Romney, an egotistical gimmick like Palin, or a bastard's bastard like Gingrich. Between Obama and Ron Paul, I might vote Paul simply because he'd try to end the wars and might actually champion civil liberties, but he doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell. And he has a 14 year old Rand fan's understanding of economics and a Huckabee-esque understanding of science.
I wish there was a progressive who could give Obama a challenge in 2012. If Sanders or Kucinich ran, I'd throw my money and volunteering behind them 100%.
