It seems like it would be in Bolton's best interests to announce by the end of this year if he wants to run. That way, he'd have plenty of time to try and lock down the hawkish wing of the GOP.
I could see Perry running as soon as this year. Soon he won't have any responsibilities in elected office, lifting that barrier, and the earlier he runs, the more time he would have to rehabilitate his image. Perry 2016 would have to be different from Perry 2012 to have any serious chance at winning the primary or the general election. On the other hand, he might wait until early 2015 when his term actually runs out before making an announcement.
I'd agree with OP that Ryan would probably say nay to running for president very soon to reassure the caucus. The same might apply to other representatives in leadership positions, like McMorris-Rodgers (though she isn't a very likely candidate to begin with).
