Who Do You Vote For?

Taking the three Democratic front-runners (Obama, Edwards, Clinton), and the four Republicans (Huckabee, Romney, McCain, Giuliani), there are 12 possible matchups for the November election. Who would you vote for? If it's something other than a straight party-line preference, why are you deviating?

Group A: Obama
1. Obama v. Huckabee
2. Obama v. Romney
3. Obama v. McCain
4. Obama v. Giuliani

Group B: Edwards
5. Edwards . Huckabee
6. Edwards v. Romney
7. Edwards v. McCain
8. Edwards v. Giuliani

Group C: Clinton
9. Clinton v. Huckabee
10. Clinton v. Romney
11. Clinton v. McCain
12. Clinton v. Giuliani

Fun post:

1-4: Obama over everyone.

5-8: Everyone over Edwards, as much as it would pain me to vote for Romney or Giuliani.

9. Clinton over Huckabee (this one is almost too close to call, but I'm afraid Huckabee just doesn't know what he's talking about).

10. Clinton over Romeny
11. McCain over Clinton
12. Clinton over Giuliani

I meant to add a third option: Stay Home/Third Party. Personally, I prefer third-party voting to just staying home (as that way at least there's dissenting votes tabulated), but I generally dislike a false alternative, and in every pair here there's other choices.
