NATIONAL GOVERNOR/OTHER RESULTS THREAD (LATE RESULTS/POSTMORTEM)

Did the Conservative Party line in the New York governorship race get the 50,000 votes it needs to stay on the ballot?

It doesn't matter now, but I wonder how Kirk Dillard would have fared against Quinn in lieu of Brady?  Just 194 more votes in the primary and we might have had a chance to have seen.

It is probably of no consequence in the big scheme of things, But the Lt Gov lineup is much more favorable to the Republicans than the Governorships turned out to be.  Of course, for Governors, the apparent lineup will be 29-R, 20-D, and 1-I.  But for Lieutenant Governors (or the first in line of succession), Republicans appear to have the slot in Vermont, New Hampshire (Senate President), Missouri, Arkansas, and Montana. 

This would make the Lt Gov lineup 34-R, 16-D (Rhode Island will have a Democratic Lt Gov).

Have the six states, south to north, from Texas to North Dakota ever all had Republican governors before in our history?  Oops, never mind.  upon checking, I see that they did from 1999 through 2002.

Grisanti won on the Republican line and is going to vote for the Republican leadership.  If he won this time, there's little reason to think he "can't possibly win reelection" - he very well might. 

LOL.

Maybe if the Democrats nominate Antoine Thompson again AND the Presidential election is cancelled.

New York voters are well versed in the skills of splitting their tickets.  This year's results just drive home that reality of that fact.
