Which gubernatorial race do you think is going to be a surprise on Tuesday?

My pick: Jerry Brady upsets "Butch" Otter in Idaho. I get the impression that people in the state are heartily sick of one-party rule.

The Kinkster upsets Rick "Goodhair" Perry. At least I can dream.

More seriously however, I think the race in Michigan will be far closer than many are expecting. Granholm will probably win. However I wouldn't be suprised to see a 51-48 kind of of finish.

"Goodhair" could lose.  But he probably won't because so many people are voting Kinky rather than Bell.
It's really pretty sad.


Other than that, I think there's a very good chance we'll win in Idaho and Nevada, and maybe Alaska.

Topinka could actually upset Blagojevich in Illinois.  I doubt it, but it's not as unlikely as it seems.  Just about every Democrat I know is voting either Green or Republican against Blogo.  Could be a major surprise.  Unfortunately for the Republicans she's not that attractive a candidate and as a result, she could still lose.  I think Illinois just might have the worst governors in recent years of any state, at least from a corruption perspective.

Ehrlich upsets O'Malley, or is that not a surprise?

Strayhorn is taking a large percent from Democrats than Kinky is. Kinky himself takes more from Republicans than he does from Democrats. You will be as sad as those fools who blame Perot for Bush I's loss if you honestly go on a "Kinky screwed Bell" tirade the day after tomorrow.

If we're talking major upsets - Idaho, Illinois, Michigan

IF we're talking reasonable upsets - Maryland, Oregon, and if Minnesota still qualifies...maybe that one doesn't

The odds are against him, but I don't think that would count as a surprise.

There's apparently a new poll on this race to be released by Rasmussen. The last poll showed Palin up by one or two. Hopefully, this new poll will show a Knowles lead.
