Least favorite Governor of your party

[dazzleman]

I'd have to say Pataki of New York.

I voted for him in '94 when I still lived in New York.  I would have voted for anybody against Mario Cuomo.  He did a good job his first term and into his second term, but since then he has become simply a pale imitation of those dreadful Democrats.  At this point, he is little better than Cuomo.

He has also run the state Republican Party into the ground.  He clings to office, for what I don't know.  He was hoping to get appointed to something in the Bush Administration, but that doesn't seem to be happening.  I don't think he'd beat the Hildebeast for a Senate seat, so I don't know what he'll do when his term his up.  He is completely ineffective at this point and I don't see him winning re-election.

He seems to want to make a presidential run, but he doesn't stand a chance.

Eh, Pataki.

Blanco.... and did I just see some Dems bagging Ed Rendell? Why?

I know he's got a Republican State Legislature, but I haven't seen him do very much or make efforts to compromise with Republicans.  I think he'd be a good Senator however and I'd like to see him run against Santorum (which won't happen unfortunetly), and have Casey take over the governor's mansion.

Is this some kind of joke? Rendell has got more through the state legislature in two years then most Governors get through in 8 years.

Such as what ? 

He's been a GREAT sports analyst for the Eagles!

Thank god for the mute button

You guys hate Blanco because she's too conservative? You folks really don't ever want to win the Presidency again, do you?

And a lot of Republicans are mentioning Pataki largely because they feel he is too liberal. It goes both ways.

Jodi Rell gets on my nerves because of her personality that just reaks of "I'm a moderate, and your not!"

Bob Riley of Alabama

it's difficult trying to decide between Phil Bredesen of Tennessee and Joe Manchin of West Virginia, so i'll just nominate both.

Blanco is a good one.  She's very hated by a lot of LA Democrats--b/c she's stupid, but she put in a fabulous higher education program.  So, Warner.  I can't stand him.

Strangely enough, I agree with ian here.  I despise tax raisers. 

Before he resigned, it was clearly Jim McGreevey, however.

The difference is that a conservative can still win nationally in America.
