Would the ideal situation be for a conservative candidate to emerge from the crowd by the time of the first primary? Meaning, we all get a good look at Walker, Cruz, Rand, ect, and someone takes the field of conservatives so we don't split the vote? Or is that hoping too much?

Do you really think there's any - and I mean ANY - chance the Ben Carson voters or Rick Santorum voters or Rand Paul voters (somehwat different situation, granted) are going to budge? I think we already know the answer to that question.
THAT'S why Jeb Bush as frontrunner is a reality to be feared. Never forget: it's ALWAYS the Conservatives who split their votes so the GOP-E can win, and it's ALWAYS a conservative who bull-headedly refuses to drop out despite being completely broke (Santorum, Huckabee, et al).
Walker has a real shot, but odds are he becomes another victim of Conservacide voting. Never underestimate the power of the one-percenters to ruin it for everybody.

On your list, or any current list of potential candidates, there is only one conservative on it; and because Cruz is the only conservative; there is no way the conservatives can be divided.
CRUZ 2016!
Like another conservative says it is CRUZ OR LOSE!
