Giuliani was not well-liked before 9/11. Quayle had name recognition, but that's about it. He was a figure of the past. There would be no reason for Paul to run if Bush hadn't, and Buchanan ran as the Reform Party's nominee (although didn't he start out in the GOP primaries?).
I think Lamar Alexander may present himself as the main Southern conservative in this scenario, and it would be a close run thing between him and McCain (or perhaps another relative moderate such as Tommy Thompson).
