So if he got the Republican nomination, you'd vote for Hillary?

Everyone but Jeb is something of a long shot to get the nomination, and I think it's premature to talk about "electability" until there is more of a campaign track record and a couple of debates.

If the primary were today, I'd likely vote for Perry or Walker over Jindal, but they (along with Carson and Huckabee) all have 5+ months to convince me.

Given my strong belief in the separation of powers and federalism, I don't take actions as a conservative governor as a strong indication of how one would govern as POTUS.

A good conservative president should have strong convictions about the different roles of state and federal government, so I would not look for conservative candidates to necessarily take the same approach to federal issues as POTUS as they took to state issues as governors.
