I don't think we can call Gillespie a C-lister anymore. If he was, Warner would've preformed at Durbin/Franken/T.Udall-levels.
But I agree with you on Brown. There are plenty of candidates in NH that probably could've beaten Shaheen. Marilinda Garcia, Dan Innis, Jim Reubens, hell, even Charlie Bass could've beaten Shaheen. Brown just ran a campaign that has been way too goofy (EBOLA IS CROSSING THE BORDER OMG).
That would have been beautiful!
Yeah, I feel stupid for thinking Brown would barely pull it out. I should know better about carpetbaggers, being a Southerner and all.
