As David Brancaccio used to say, let's do the numbers.
Bill Adama. Okay, I can see this one. Except his action at the end of season 2 is such a big negative in the badass column he'll need to overcome it by, I dunno, riding a planet buster bomb to the surface of the Cylon homeworld while waving around a cowboy hat and shouting YEE-HAW! Lee Adama. Whiny bitch. Next! Roslin. Never bought her as a badass. More of a conciliator. Sharon. Used to be kind of badass, now just stands around and cries a lot. Six. Except for the one scene where she's beating the HELL out of Sharon, not her style. Helo. Whiny bitch. Next? Chief. Potential badass, but whined his way through most of the last 2 seasons so the jury is out. Cally. Pretty badass in the prison episode, but that was an exception. Billy. HA! Next. Baltar. uh, no. Dee. Maybe Gaeta. smarmy little fuck Zarek. Are we counting guest stars? Because he might count if he ever actually did anything.
Having seen the first two or three episodes and the LAST episode of season 2, I'm aching to fill in the gaps. And I can't wait for season 3. This might join Lost as "the only show I try to watch when it's, y'know, on."

1. Starbuck
2. Starbuck
3. Starbuck
4. Starbuck
5. Tigh
