Gilmore was neither an incumbent governor nor popular in 2008...

And he ran against a very popular former Governor.

And besides Weld for Senate, whom else is there?

Maggie Hassan won thanks to Hillary coattails

Jerry Brown actually wasn't popular and was running against MH Stinky Pete AND St. Ronnie during his go-ahead, and he was out of office for some time when he tried his hand against Bill in '92.

Don't know of others.
