I'll admit, it's hard to tell. Napalitono, Morton and Holder are pretty much neck and neck. I'd have to say after seeing this, that the smart money is on Holder:

Holder Blames Congress for Forcing Hand on Military Commissions for 9/11 Detainees - FoxNews.com

Quote:
Congress tied the Obama administration's hands in trying the alleged mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks and his accomplices, Attorney General Eric Holder said Monday, announcing that he was left without a choice and has referred the cases to the Defense Department for trial.
In stark language, Holder lambasted Congress for imposing restrictions blocking any detainees from being tried in the U.S., saying that the "unwise and unwarranted restrictions" undermine the U.S. in counter-intelligence and counter-terror efforts.
Expressing his disappointment in no uncertain terms, the attorney general said that as a native New Yorker, he knows as well as anyone the federal court's capacity to try the suspects. He added that he's intimately familiar with the cases, much moreso than congressional members -- or the public -- who opposed allowing the cases to be held in the United States.

You are as good as the people you surround yourself with and rely on to make decisions.
And picking those people tells alot about you.
