I suppose it depends on the circumstances by which a new leader is needed. If they are still in government the response would be different to being in opposition.
George Osborne is certainly a contender, however he has not connected as well (yet) with the party as Cameron has done. Liam Fox has too many enemies inside and outside the party. Michael Gove is probably the strongest suite even though he is the 'third man' to Cameron and Osborne; in fact it's probably because of that position that he is strong. Gove keeps himself sufficiently 'detached' from the party cliques but is strong attached to Cameron. Having said that, if Cameron has to be 'pushed', then he would be the man to do it.
Outside the box, Jeremy Hunt and Nick Herbert spring to mind. Of course, it could be one of the 2010 intake.
