7. Chuck Robb
Seeing his name reminds me of the 94 Virginia senate race when Ollie North was decrying Robb as an '8th and I' Marine. I guess it didn't hurt that Robb could remind people that he went to Vietnam when he was better placed than anyone to get an exemption (anybody remember who his father-in-law was?).

It's ironic that the last big-time Republican to actually fight in a war is one they all decried as a liberal in the 90s: G.H.W. Bush.
