Same here; I thought JSaimoe should be starting about now; and the topic was started yesterday.
As for the characters; Nanoha and Fate, even the webcam rip didn't diminish the awesomeness of the movie; Senjougahara from Bakemonogatari, and ofc Tachibana Kanade. Others I'll have to see after preliminaries. I at first thought Eva 2.22 would be in this year's Saimoe( since, you know, BD/DVD versions are floating about now); but that was actually in last year's Saimoe. Oh well, at least there is Haruhi movie which should stir things up .

Oh shit, it's already here. Taiga winning the Saimoe tiara still feels like it was only yesterday.
Let's see what darkhouses we have this year: - Railgun: Mikoto, Uiharu, Saten - Angel Beats: Kanade, Yurippe, Yui-nyan - BakaTest: Himeji, Minami, Shouko - Seitokai no Ichizon: Kurimu + friends - Kobato: Kobato - Nyan Koi: Twins, Mizuno - Kimi ni Todoke: Sawako? - Needless: Eve? - Seiken no Blacksmith: Lisa? - Sora no Woto: Kanata? - Hanamaru Youchien: Every kindergartener in the cast?

You're not including Working! or Kaichou wa Maid-sama? I can understand overlooking Koihime (though there are some good ones from there) and possibly Durarara (there IS Moe, and not just for fujoshi). Based on what I think your definition of 'darkhorse' means - a new, powerful entry that hasn't been seen before. But on that definition, Mikoto certainly isn't because she's been seen in Index before.

Durarara!: Celty (The only headless candidate if got included), Anri, Namie? Kaichou: Never watched it, didn't like the manga. The heroine and I forgot what her name was.

Judging by Comiket77's output, Nadeko has a lot of backing. Remember she wasn't introduced until after the cutoff date for last year's Saimoe - she also didn't show up at C76 because of her late appearance. Tenshi is confirmed to be strong (#1 in "Mai Waifu" otaku polls recently) and give the Haruhi movie hit this year's February, Nagato 2.0 is here in full force.
I'm sure there's more (I wonder how the Hanamaru Youchien girls will do) top performers but my mind's not on TV anime much lately. Orbiting Pixiv when your list of favourite artists are hand-picked for Touhou (and original characters and Vocaloid) makes it hard to remember the relatively few anime-origin hits.

I would put down Mikoto as a major contender rather than championship material, but I do want her to win. However, If she faces any K-on member Yui, Azusa or Mio, she might have trouble. (But will Yui face the same trouble as lucky star last year?)

As for Mikoto, even though she appeared in Saimoe 09, she got taken out pretty early (by an eventual Best 4 member notwithstanding) and had no time to strike a name for herself. In my view this is almost as effective as being new.

Spoiler for just saw this on another thread:
Basing on that, it's possible that Fate/Nanoha might still be a good contender, and Mahiru beating Mio, Yui (Not sure if its Yui in K-On or Yui in Angel Beats, pink haired girl) and Kanade in a poll could signify that Working is popular in Japan afterall.
