It'll be McCain. Frontrunners never lose Republican presidential primaries.

1976: Ford (despite Reagan scare)
1980: Reagan (despite Bush I scare)
1988: Bush I
1992: Bush I (despite Buchanan scare)
1996: Dole
2000: Bush II (despite McCain scare)

[Sir Francis Dashwood]

1992: Bush I (despite Buchanan scare)

2000: Bush II (despite McCain scare)

2008: Bush III (despite McCain scare)

The left is more afraid of Jeb Bush than anyone.

If Jeb runs, he wins the GOP primary with 90% of the Republican vote...

You could mention Dole in 1988. Quayle was having health issues so he wasn't able to run for the 1996 nomination. A shame, because Dole turned out to be a squishy pushover whereas Quayle was (and is) a very committed conservative and a tough campaigner.
