Draco, because of Lucius's involvement in the Dark Arts and loyalty

I, Leah, must wonder...
I don't know how bright you have to be to become the Dark Lord, but I 
just don't think that Draco's got it.  If he were half as intelligent 
as Riddle was, we would have heard about it by now.  Actually, we 
hear him complaining about Hermione in Borgin & Burkes (CoS); and 
<kind> Lucius berates him for not beating a girl and a Muggle.  We 
don't have any specific canon for his grades, but I suspect that they 
are not phenomenal.  

On a second note, I don't think Draco is evil enough to be the Dark 
Lord.  He just seems to be a petty, malicious brat who has no 
consideration for others (on the other hand, Tom probably didn't 
appear evil either...).
Tatta,
