There ain't a hope in hell of Scotland electing Alec Douglas Home as its Senator/Governor...okay i'll keep him on my list!!! I think its likely that by 1976 at least, we'd see a Brit on one of the major tickets in an attempt to mop up EV's. Here's my list of Scottish Governors, PS, ive iv messed up the dates of re-election ill go back to it, take it as re-election every 2 years. Makes it more fun!
1968 William Ross (D/Lab)
1970 William Ross (D)
1972 William Ross (D)
1974 George Younger (R)
1976 Bruce Millan (D)
1978 George Younger (R)
1980 Donald Dewar (D)
1982 Donald Dewar (D)
1984 Donald Dewar (D)
1988 Malcolm Rifkind (R)
1990 John Smith (D)
1992 John Smith (D) died 1994
1994 Donald Dewar (D)
1996 Alex Salmond (Ind)
1998 Alex Salmond (Ind)
2000 Alistair Darling (D)
2002 Alistair Darling (D)
2004 Race:
Alistair Darling (D)
David McLetchie (R)
Margo McDonald (Ind)
George Galloway (Ind. Anti War)
Despite a challenge from Jim Murphy, Darling remains on the Democratic ticket. His support has been eaten away by the two independent candidates with some polls giving the moderate McLetchie a small lead in a traditionally Democratic state. Kerry is polling 61% here and it looks a safe bet for the Presidential election
Hell, I'd vote for McLetchie in this one!:)
