It's tied between Sandoval, Brown and Dayton.

I understand for Dayton and Brown.
But why Shumlin, what has he done?

Definitely Shumlin, given that he's signed into law single-payer for Vermont.

Malloy and Dayton would probably be the next best ones, given their signing off on expanding the right to organize for home care workers iirc.

Brown and Shumlin. The best Republican governor is Sandoval, not that that's saying much. Dayton's pretty great too. I also have some fondness for Markell and Kitzhaber, although there are too many points of disagreement (within the internal context of Democratic politics) for me to say that they're among the best.

O'Malley is fine, Chafee is inept and kind of slippery, and Patrick is awful.

Seriously, you are a right-winger.

But anyway, Shumlin and Brown are pretty good; I guess they're my favorites, but I guess we'll see if anyone else good shows up in the next 2-4 years.

Perry is the best governor in the US by a wide margin. Unfortunately for him, he's not particularly likeable, he's not PC, and he would be a terrible president.

Probably Shumlin for getting single-payer in Vermont.

Shumlin was more pushed to accept single-payer by the Vermont Progressive Party.

I'd say Jerry Brown, who despite his flaws, has some seriously insane magical budget abilities. Yeah, I know it's no great shakes; but then again it's California.

Of the listed few: Chafee is a spineless incompetent, Patrick is reasonably good and O'Malley has done a great job shifting Maryland into a truly progressive state.
