Highly unlikely, especially since the GOP has been hijacked by the religious nutcases.
If and when the religious nutcases finally determine that politics and religion don't mix and/or decide to vote for a religious Democrat, then maybe at that point, a secular moderate candidate might actually get a shot at the GOP nomination.

At this time, I do not think this is possible as it appears the fanatical evangelicals wield far too much power. Why else would a man from the Dark Ages, Huckabee, be rising in the polls? He is as much a laughing stock in Europe as Bush.
Note: Guiliani is, nominally at least, a Catholic, whom the Bible Thumpers hate and fear.

Typically they are. however, during the runup to the nomination, they play to the far right in order to get the nomination. After that, they reach out to moderate repubs and dems for the vote.

I don't see how. My realistic options are; a fundamentalist christian, or an Ivy league lawyer. Yay.
Whatever happened to; The guy that wants to help the less fortunate with the money from the crazy rich, or the guy who cuts taxes and spending across the board, putting the power back in our hands as individuals? Both would be better options then these clowns.

So far, no President in the history of the United States has claimed to be secular. So, no.

Not likely. Hardcore pandering to the religious right and exploitation of religion seems to be a requirement to get the GOP nom.

anything is possible - typically candidates that win have to be moderate since most are not on the far side of the spectrum. That's why I don't understand how Hillary had the support she has since she is sooooooo far to the left it is crazy.

it is time for them to go. they have overcharged the card, started a big fight with radical muslims, and have been all hooked up with the lobbyists for too long. they are corrupt and only answer by waving the cross and the flag. they are not good christians nor loyal patriots. they are good self-serving businessmen who have been in office way too long. they all gotta go. no exceptions. clean house or four more years of making it worse for ordinary people. they made themselves the ruling class. no they gotta go. now it is our turn to get well. they will fight hard but we shall overcome. out with all reps, no matter how hard it is.l

What's Guiliani then? A rabid bible-basher? Don't think so.
edit
I don't think Mr-Four-Wives can have his "catholocism" held against him...
