Barack Obama
Barack Obama is running into the nominations as the incumbent, and this means that he will likely be re-elected. This implies that he also has a high chance of being taken as the Democratic Nominee. His approval ratings have remained fairly consistent over the years, and according to the odds, it is highly likely that he will win the 2012 U.S. Presidential election... at this time. It also doesn't hurt that Osama Bin Laden was killed under Obama's administration.

Mitt Romney
Mitt Romney was the 70th Governor of Massachusetts, and he is the current favorite for the Republican nomination for presidency in the 2012 elections. His success in the business world, as well as his previous successes in the previous election's caucuses and primaries, though he did lose to John McCain for the nomination. Opinion polls place him fairly high in terms of the possible nomination.
