Either Romney or Huckabee.  Sure, it's easy to just go with one of the main runners up from the primaries, but it's not just that.  The three men each represented a different 'wing' of the GOP:

McCain represented the military interventionist/national security wing; Romney the Wall Street/white suburban (and I guess the Mormon) wing; Huckabee the Christian Right and Southerners.

Romney wasn't a cause of the financial crisis.
