A very good question, because the ones mentioned so far have some drawbacks. Jeb Bush? Too many Bushes, Jesse will be out there with his "stay out da Bushes" redux. Condi Rice? Not unless she gets some elected experience on her resume. The Rats will kill her over that one, and the sheeple are dumb enough to fall for it. The Colorado guy? Not much national exposure. He seems decent enough but outside of Colorado most people probably haven't heard of him (but that didn't stop Carter or Clinton). The Senate has some good choices, Don Nickles or Rick Santorum. But Nickles is from a sparsely populated state and the press will lambaste Santorum as "radical" (abortion opposition, which is the absolute correct position but seems to turn the majority of voters off). My guess is Guliani for his post 9/11 performance, or maybe Pataki, for the same reason. RINOs both, I know, but the pickings look otherwise slim in terms of electability.

Santorum isn't viable because he opposes abortion?!?!?!

Funny, I thought George W. Bush, George Bush Sr., and Ronald Reagan all did too, and I noticed they were president at one point or another...

Benson, Pawlenty, Sanford, Frist, Allen, Carcieri.

There's six for ya. Plus JC Watts (tho he'll probably just go for governor) and Nickles. If you want RINOs, Hagel's already running, and by RINO I mean an attention-seeking, NYTimes-pleasing, Democrat-loving, Bush-hating, McCain wannabe.
