An interesting enough topic to make me join...

It seems pretty clear that Temari is the one to beat. She should have been a Chunin already, if it wasn't for the Sand's stupid plan. I say there's three ways to beat her. The first is trap her. I mean, who can't be beat by a trap? Even Kakashi falls for those. The other is to just totally overpower her as Sasuke does.

I think the real trick to beating her is to get past her wind attacks and fight at close range. Who can do that? Tenten can't, since she's trained herself almost exclusively in long range attacks. Hinata probably can't, although we haven't seen enough of her abilities to tell. Can Ino? Who knows. Of all the female genins there is only one who could definitely get close to Temari.

Yes, Sakura.

Just think about it. All the (two...) times she attacked somebody, she was able to use genjutsu to get close to the enemy. Against Ino this gave her a free hit. Against Zaku...let's just forget what came next. Sakura's genjutsu is some of the best among ALL genins, not just the female ones. She can use it to change the tactical situation to her advantage.

The only question is, once she does get past Temari's wind attacks, is she strong enough to beat Temari in a straight up fight? Since we don't know how good Temari is in a fist fight, I'm just going to assume Sakura would win. Even though she probably wouldn't...

So, uh, yeah. Go Sakura!
