Philip or Migrendel. Most of the others mentioned would be easy to manipulate.
What about me Al? Am I to reactionary?
I think you'd make one of the better ones. I think you'd be more conservative than Bush in the sense that you'd be less likely to get yourself talked into projecting US military, and US money, overseas. Also, you'd be somewhat polarizing. But hey, any one remember Clinton? Anyone remember GWB? what about Reagan? It's like, who's not, these days? so "polarizing" seems now to go with the territory. And, in fact, given your dedication to States' Rights, and all that goes with that, you'd very likely be less polarizing than either Clinton, Reagan, or Bush, because you seem to be more open to the idea of local control. At the extreme, this ought to be a very pleasing idea to all.
