As for McCain, I think his age might go against him. Not sure about Jeb Bush. It will depend how well GWB will do in his final four years.

Before 9-11, there would be absolutely no way that Giuliani could get through the Republican primaries. The Religous Right would have destroyed him fast. Right after 9-11, he could have become president easily if other factors were favorable (his party presiding over a good economy or the other party presiding over a bad economy.) In 2008, 9-11 may be too distant of a memory to allow the goodwill of Religous Right to overlook that he is pro-choice and pro-gay rights.
McCain might be too old, but then again, his age may have mellowed him enough to be able to get through a full presidential campaign without repeatedly putting his foot in his mouth.
I think that Jeb will have the goodwill towards his family, and access to an amazing political machine. That's why I think that Jeb cvan do it.
