Sorry, but New York has Crist beat. Paterson is so bad, even the president doesn’t like him.

I was gonna nominate the worthless and ineffectual Bev Perdue from NC, but I can’t beat Granholm. All one needs to do is look at the basket case MI has become during her tenure. In case we needed one, it is a perfect microcosm of where 0 wants to take the entire country. Repeat after me, kiddies: a high-tax, high unemployment, stagnant, Soviet-style cradle-to-grave European welfare state banana republic.

thanks for the info

I’m guessing she’ll be in some lucrative cabinet slot or other Wash DC position after she leaves Michigan

Worst Governor? Crist? He’s a bad one but not even close.

I guess everyone will tend to pick their home state rat/RINO I’d have picked Blago but he’s gone now.

I’d have to go with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Dishonorable mentions to Deval Patrick and Jennifer Granholm.

My condolences...
I was born in Elmhurst,IL.
Most of my relatives live in Illinois.
I’d agree that Blago was an epic failure. Why’s he not in jail yet? (wondering to myself...)Seems like it was a slam dunk on prison for him, but he’s a dem, so laws may not apply...

Walker has a very good chance of winning. If that happens, it’ll make the wait for the 2012 presidential elections so much easier.

Martin O’Malley from Maryland.

Sad part is, he’ll probably get re-elected. Ugh...

I’d have to say Granholm. Michigan wishes it were in as good of shape as California.

Paterson is second worst. Nobody likes him.

Deval Patrick is third worst.

Mark Sanford gets a dishonorable mention.

Arnie isn’t good, but he’s working with a really bad legislature, which makes him look worse.

When Iowa's Chet Culver can't even crack into the nation's top five worst governors list, things are BAD.

PA got everyone beat..fast Eddy Rendell. A man so crooked he couldnt lie straight in bed. A gun grabbing Philly Lib.
He looks like a goon from a Bugs Bunny cartoon. His and his hired goons beat some poor slob who was trying to ask a question. Plus the fact he tried to discount vote durning the Bush-Gore election.
He is truely a stench in the nostrals of honest people.

Maybe they’re trying to find out how many goods he has on the ‘bamster?

Corzine or Granholm.

Honorable mention to Martin O’Malley and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
