Well, if I could pick any one candidate to be the next president, it would be Ron Paul. He's the only candidate who supports small government. Among Republicans, Giuliani is the only one I wouldn't be unhappy with. The others who have a chance (Thompson and Romney) are just rehashes of Bush, and I would be shocked and appalled if either of them won.
I like Edwards and I think he has a great shot at winning the general election, but getting through the primaries will be a lot harder. I also prefer Obama to Clinton.
As for long shot candidates... well, Kucinich and Paul make great pipe dreams. I see them as the only ones who might make big, significant changes in government, but they'll never win.
