Elect-able, and liked by conservatives and liberals.

3. Tom Tancredo: ultra-conservative, but not very elect-able

4. Duncan Hunter: ultra-conservative, but not very elect-able

5. Mit Romney: claims to be Reganesque, elect-ability, executive experience
None of them come very close to being a Reagan, thought Romney has some of the charm. Paul seems ascerbic to me. I don't think he's electable. But his value may be in moving the GOP a little more to the right. He would have trouble with minorities and college age students. You pegged Tancredo and Hunter.
