1. Richard Blumenthal, Connecticut - D
2. Bill Lockyer, California - D (currently Jerry Brown - D)
3. Eliot Spitzer, New York - D (currently Andrew Cuomo - D)
4. Zulima Farber, New Jersey -D (currently Anne Milgram - D)
5. Patrick Lynch, Rhode Island - D
6. Darrell McGraw, West Virginia - D
7. William Sorrell, Vermont - D
8. Lisa Madigan, Illinois - D
9. Peg Lautenschlager, Wisconsin - D (currently J. B. Van Hollen - R!)
10. Tom Reilly, Massachusetts -D (currently Martha Coakley - D)

So, can you trust a survey of worst attorneys general, when the surveyor got half of the names wrong? The five misnamed attorneys general were elected in 2007, but still . . . .
