IN-Governor Who will it be W/O Pence?

[libertpaulian]

If the Reps nominate Brooks or Holcomb, the Dems should just pull their resources out of Indiana and put them all into North Carolina.  That's probably the most critical governorship of all.

Bayh is considering switching from the Senate race to the Governor's race

He simply can't, Gregg has been nominated.

So was Hill. Gregg could drop out and defer to Bayh, though considering Gregg's in pretty good shape as well, that will be hard. Lots of craziness - makes me wish I was still in Indiana to witness it!

You can always come back.

Correction: Bayh NOT interested in running for Governor

He's still an entitled POS.

Congratulations Governor Gregg.

I seriously doubt that. Gregg is gonna get crushed.

The Dems won't have anyone left to run for Governor until Joe Hogsett in 2024 at the earliest.  Pete Buttigieg might also be a dark horse candidate.

The facts are that Pence wasn't that popular, and that Gregg is a weak candidate whose campaign more or less revolved around how bad Pence is.

Well, no.
He lost by 3 points in 2012 while Pence definitely wasn't unpopular at all at this time.

This. Very important. The 2012 gubernatorial election in Indiana was the closest in 50 years.

I think that was mostly due to the Mourdock/Akin Factor, though.

Honestly,
I think I will likely keep my lean rep ratings unless they choose Eric Holcomb.

What would Holcomb make it?  Likely R?
