Arguably this has been within the realm of possibility in recent years, with Rudy Giuliani leading in the polls in 2007. I assume evangelical turnout would be down, but would such a candidate be able to pick up more socially moderate fiscal conservatives?

It can go either way.

Fiscally moderate social conservatives might stay home, or might even go for the Democrat, since they could agree with economic policies more.

In a good cycle, a guy with a compelling story could expand the tent, at least for that cycle. Although I don't much it helps if the candidate is Pro-Choice. Chris Christie is pro-life, and got reelected with over 60% in New Jersey.

Since The West Wing predicts everything, obviously there would be a nuclear meltdown in their home state ultimately causing him to lose the election to a Latino congressman from Texas.

It depends on just how pro-choice the Republican is. If they are basically indistinguishable from the Democrat on the issue, you would see a significant third party run and the Democrats would win.
