That's the challenge. You need someone with enough bona-fides on the Right to get past the Evangelicals. That probably eliminates Guiliani (though he still carries the 9/11 mantle) and Romney. McCain has a chance to pull it off, but he's at the edge age-wise, which is a shame. It is such a physically, mentally, and emotionally taxing job, I'm not sure how he would hold up. Just look at the picture of Bush from 2000, 2004, and now. He looks like he aged twenty years. Look back at Clinton, too, from 1992, 1996, and 2000. Both guys in the prime of their lives, and in Bush's case a guy physically in damn good shape, but the job just beat the tar out of both of them.
