Opposite of this thread. Once again, assume the worst situation for your party and best candidate for the opposite party. This should be easy to name a few from both parties. I only know about 1/20 the members of the house so I have a short list in my mind, and right now I can't think of more than 3, so I will update this later.

Libertarian Party?  We always get a few Klan nutcases who slip through, so not them assuming I've researched the candidate beforehand.  The Jonestowners are fairly harmless.

I'm surprised that you have Paul Ryan on your list NC Yankee. Many of your names would make my list too. Gowdy and Gohmert annoy me. I just got to "know" them too well on Fox News I guess. If I went down the list, no doubt a fair number of other Texas Pubs would make my list too. They just have this swaggering veneer encasing inner ignorance.

He is on the secondary list, but he is there for a reason and Jack Kemp would be on there for much same reasons as well if this were 1983 instead of 2013. I have a lot of respect for Kemp and his ideas, and I think he was much more innovative than Ryan, but they shared the same wrong opinion when it comes to an issue that I concern myself greatly with and that would be stopping illegal immigration.

The funny thing is my mind has a way of skipping past Texas. I can name every Republican Congressman and when they were elected, as well as my personal take on them based on what I have read, heard or seen, save for when it comes to Texas with but a few exceptions. I was also in a hurry and could have placed some more of the Reps from your neck of the woods on there other than Calvert for much the same reasons as him (land deals typically).

Well:
Shelley Berkley
Anthony Weiner
Dennis Kucinich: I mean, his district was really democratic, so... I would have supported Marcy Fudge
Mark Begich if the nominee is Joe Miller: he would win by double digit so I would stay at home.

Reluctantly:
Mark Begich against Treadwell
Elizabeth Warren: I'm fine with her views, but, she's dangerous for the democratic party. I don't want a tea party on the left.
Sheldon Whitehouse
Jim Cooper
And probavly Russ Feingold in 2016.

I will not vote for Jim Matheson in 2014 (I only voted for him in 2012 because Mia Love was terrifying and I didn't know how much of a bully Matheson was to the state party). I probably would not vote for Dennis Kucinich (if he were still in Congress), or John Tierney and Charlie Rangel (corruption).

Jim Cooper is a Republican who's only running as a Democrat because of the 150 years of Democrats before him. Other than him and Charlie Rangel I don't see someone who I could vote against. Possibly Tierney too.

EDIT: Thanks AG, forgot Lipinski.

Oh yeah, forgot Lipinski and Cooper. They're even in relatively safe Democratic districts; what on earth are they doing being so conservative?

IL-3 has always been friendlier to socons for some odd reason, so he could get a pass if I'm in the right mood, especially when he's pro-labor and generally economically liberal. Cooper has no excuse though, considering his vote on the Southerland Amendment and Sandy aid. He needs to go now.

My understanding IL-3 is a socon, ethnically Polish area which mostly votes D because of economics.

On certain studies, Cooper is to the right of BOTH of the Tennessee Senators.

Jesus Christ, why? I understand the Democrats who are saying Elizabeth Warren is dangerous and too liberal (Even though I think they are idiots), but if you wouldn't vote for Jeff Merkley then you need to stop calling yourself a Democrat.

Lipinski is really a populist running as a Democrat to all his detractors on here. His Dad voted like a Southern Conservative Democrat on economic issue in the Clinton Years  for Illinois. Your state is Illinois not Louisiana.

Unwilling no matter what:
Scott DesJarlais
Mark Sanford

Probably unwilling, but perhaps depending on opponent:
Steve King- the comments about Hispanics were too much for me
Michelle Bachmann
Ted Cruz

Possibly unwilling, only with a ConseravaDem opponent:
Paul Broun
Renee Ellmers
Jim Jordan
Kay Granger
Justin Amash
Shelley Moore Capito
Charlie Dent
Rodney P. Frelinghuysen

Too many to count, but special mention goes to Jackson Lee, Pelosi, and Wasserman Schultz.
