My guess would be Jeb Bush, but even he leans a little too left for the majority of the party. However, he probably has the best chances in a Presidential race just for that reason.
The Democratic Party has all but officially nominated Clinton. Sanders is gaining fast and has a very good shot at the nomination if Clinton can't clean up her image quick. As current VP, Biden isn't going to pull any votes from the right, which is an issue for him.
Of course, this is all just my opinion, but my guess for the Presidential race would have to be Jeb Bush vs Hillary Clinton. That guess only slightly outweighs my second guess of Jeb Bush vs Bernie Sanders.

As I said above, it is still 4 months until the start of the primaries so a lot could happen, but Jeb will need a miracle. Nationally he is in 5th place polling at 7.3%. He is around that same number and in 5th or worse in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. The state he is doing best in is Florida where he was Governor and he is still in 3rd there and about 11 points off the lead. Jeb will need to find some major mojo or have people in front of him screw up badly if he is going to make up that ground.
However, I do agree it will be Clinton for the democrats. Bernie might put up a fight, but in the end Clinton will likely win the nomination.
