The Republicans would never support a centrist. If you're not a far right wing Social Conservative, you're a liberal sympathizer. Powell would have to run as a Democrat.

The thing is the Republicans always do nominate a centrist *after* they've sufficiently smashed him into giving up the things that would make him appealing to the average voter. The last guy they nominated who was right-wing, relative to their fellow Republicans, was Reagan. And by modern standards he was a moderate!
