I would also bring forth the idea that there are at least a good number of us that think of ourselves as conservative that would prefer to see someone other than Bush on the Republican ticket.
I believe a good number of Bush supporters are supporting him as the best available option, just as many Kerry supporters are supporting Kerry for the exact same reason. We'd prefer to see someone else, but one makes their decisions from the options presented.
I personally would like to see a good old conservative option seeking to get government the *bleep* out of my life, and will likely be voting for a third party candidate.
