Unfortunately, we do not appear to have any really solid conservative candidate who is also viable at this time. Based on the candidates we have, it looks to me like it takes five to ten years to really prepare for a Presidential run. The ones who have done that are all kind of squishy.
My usual philosophy is to support the most conservative candidate who has a chance of winning. Sometimes that results in being very disappointed, but it can also lead to some pleasant surprises.

Newt's the only one, in my opinion, that fits your total description. And he could win, if he can get his message out despite the MSM. It will take a LOT of organization and $$$.
