Tough question.
Clark could do really well, but he lacks political experience and proper preparation.
Dean seems to have the best chance of becoming the democratic candidate, but he probably has less chance than Clark of defeating Bush.
Dean with Clark as his running mate would probably be the Democrats' best bet. Dean needs Clark's military credibility in the current situation, and Clark needs Dean's political experience.
The problem is that there aren't any Democrats with real appeal. Some could do well as VP's, but none have a presidential image. Although that could still change during the campaign, it's a pretty big problem.
The one thing that the Democrats have on their side is the aversion against Bush most liberals have. I suspect more will vote than usual, and many who would otherwise vote for the Green Party will vote Democratic simply to drive Bush out of office. It's doubtful if that will be enough though.
