Title: Governor race that looks most intersting at this point (2005-2006)
Post by: nini2287 on July 25, 2005, 12:00:13 AM
Inspired from the Congressional thread.

I voted AL, CA, OH and WI, though there are several others I'd consider to be at least "intersting"

ME, MI, VA, NH.
ME, MI, and NH b/c of the low approval ratings of the Dem. govs.
VA for obvious reasons.

Ohio.

The Democrats look like they'll have good candidates to face down both Taft and DeWine next fall... and after PA its one of the most interesting states holding elections in 2006 IMHO.

Arkansas and California also look like promising interesting gubernatorial races.

John Lynch doesn't have low approval ratings.

Maryland, Ohio, Virginia

California may become interesting, depending on the results of this year's special election.

I wanted to check more, but I narrowed it down to:

Connecticut     Why hasn't anyone else picked this??

Massachusetts (MA electing Romney is like Texas electing a gay socialist for governor. It made me sick in '02)

New Jersey     

Oklahoma    (also Kansas & Wyoming)

AL, CA, GA, IA, MD, MA, OH, VA, and WI seem to be the only ones in which the probable winner is not clear as of this time.
