Top 10 Conservative Governors

Human Events ^ | 6/26/06 | John Gizzi

[FTJM]

Do you still agree with this list?

[rhema]

Or, phrased better, did I ever agree with this list? It is, after all, the opinion of Human Event's Political Editor (at least he was in 2006) John Gizzi.

[FTJM]

Ok, did you?

[rhema]

No.

[FTJM]

Which parts? Why?

[rhema]

Not interested: 4-year-old article, Nov. 2 changes in the nation's gubernatorial landscape, presumably numerous actions in the last 4 years that have burnished or undermined these guys' conservative credentials (if they're still even governors), etc., etc.

If you want to discuss Gizzi's 2006 article with someone who's interested, either repost it on FR or email him directly:

You mean they became evil elite RINOs?

[rhema]

I wrote ". . . burnished or undermined. . ." If you're interested in FReepers' opinions of these guys 4 years after Gizzi's column, try reposting the article.

the Governor of Indiana is a raving statist.

His first official act was de-certifying the UAW as representative of state employees in a state with a lot of union membership. To me that shows political guts.

[Mr. Lucky]

Wow, a Lazarus thread.

[FTJM]

Mine was a rhetorical question.
