The University of New Hampshire poll this week showed Republican gubernatorial candidate Joe Kenney receiving a whopping 17 percent of support against Democratic Gov. John Lynch. Given Lynch's approval rating (75 percent) some argue that no one could do better than that. I disagree.

Below is a non-comprehensive list of 62 New Hampshire Republicans we think would at least get 18 percent. Surely U.S. Sens. John E. Sununu and John McCain have their own wish lists. Use the comment section to argue how wrong I was or who I stupidly left off.
