New Hampshire: Dwight D. Eisenhower

New Hampshire Republican Chairman Fergus Cullen dampened any speculation that the state party would attempt to recruit General David Petraeus to run for political office in 2010 or 2012.

"I don't believe he's retiring from the military, nor can we know where he intends to settle when he does eventually retire, so such a question is really idle speculation," Cullen told PolitickerNH.com in an e-mail.
