I think it's Terran.
They have the highest damage in the game (siege tank, BC, nukes)
They have the longest range in the game (Siege tank again, Yamato Cannon)
They aren't too terribly expensive at start, unlike Protoss.
They are very flexible, very mobile, and can expand quickly as needed, due to flying buildings.
They have some of the best anti air (goliath IMO)

Hard to beat that...

Well since it doesn't matter and toss wins i choose toss...
Ironicly it was the race i was going to choose since i played it the most 0_o

Zerg are clearly the superior race.

Story-wise, there is literally no end to the waves and waves of Zerg minions. Only a combined effort from Protoss and Terran have a chance to stand up against the Zerg Swarms.

Gameplay-wise.
Good Zerg expands, and expands everywhere. A good Zerg drives the game, and does not let the other player out of their base. A good Zerg micros out Irradiated Mutalisks from mutalisk squadrons. They expand everywhere; even if a Terran were to take out a base or two, the Zerg can doublequick adapt and start pumping out counter armies. Siege Tank armies are demolished by Mutalisk forces (which in turn are strong against Goliaths, despite the range difference, thanks to the Small armour size of the Mutalisk). Zerg can even Overlord rush with sufficient resources, essentially an in-game denial-of-service attack which can devastate races that need high micro (i.e. Protoss). Dark Swarm > Terran. Plague > all.

Terran won't be able to turtle forever. IMO, Zerg has a slight advantage against Terran, but no so much against Protoss.

The way Flash has been playing recently, it's all about Terran apparently. I always played Protoss though.

If your curious starcraft history is very strange as each race had its time in the sun....

-The rigged race at release was zerg as spawning pool was 50 mins = easy rush
-Then the next rigged race was Terran when you over camped with seige tanks, while toss was called the noob race as they only used 3 units probes, zlots, and goons (Boxer era, and the imperfect terran) Called Xellos

- Now toss is the over rigged race as a combo of drop rapes, sairs, ht, dt, arbiter

Zerg, because they are the Borg of Starcraft.

OK TWIST OF TOPIC NOW. WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE BEST RACE FOR A NEW PLAYER TO START AS AND WHY???

Protoss; more expensive units are 1000x easier to macro.

On a side note zerg cakes and chips, just saying

Zerg Base

Zerg Chips I think 0_o

Zerg base won first place in starcraft cake contest for starcraft 2 beta key

Some really cool designs in here

*looks at poll*
There are a lot of "new players" at SEN.

Protoss are easiest for the beginner. One probe for construction, easy techtree, not-hard-to-figure-out spells, units that you can run headlong into battles and win.

Yea that and less macro ;O

yeah those were the same things I came up with too. They cost more so they are stronger and you dont have as many, thus easier for a newer player.

Zerg was epic when they could easily rush (no skill days)
Terran was best micro race back then
Toss is best macro race now

So lets put it as
Rush
Micro
Macro

I'd say Protoss in SCI since they have a majestic powerhouse feeling to their units and they're technology is advanced. In SCII however I'd say Terrans though.
