This is off top of my head:

I can see Rice, although I am NOT a fan of hers at all. (I am not a fan of ANY academic (liberal or conservative) who has been National Security Advisor &/or Secretary of State - and I guarantee you that there have been plenty I've agreed with more than I agree with her.) If Bush wants to move toward better relations with the rest of the world, he would do well to appoint a career state department type that the Eurpoeans, in particular, could work with.
I don't know if McCain would want the job. It COULD be a shrewd political move on Bush's part, if he can convice him to take it, because Bush would have the advantage of association with an individual who does have support from people in both parties while (probably) getting a more socially conservative Senator out of Arizona. I hope he stays in the Senate.
Rudy? If the "Hero of 9/11" wants to be remembered as just that, he'd be well advised to stay in the private sector. He was a pretty devisive figure before that. I also doubt that Rudy could pass the Ralph Reid litmus test.
