Governors are executives. They have to delegate, negotiate and initiate. They also enforce.

My support leans to Republican governors who have shown an ability to win in liberal states.

Ronald Reagan is the prime example...twice in California.

Calvin Coolidge did it in Massachusetts....though Massachusetts may have been a bit more conservative in his day.

Mitt Romney did it in Taxachusetts.

Scott Walker did it twice in Wisconsin.

I lived in California back then. It wasn’t a far-left state like now. Romney? Seriously?

Guys like Cristie, Rauner and Romney are WORSE than garden variety Democrats, as they destroy the Republican parties in their own states, and should be excluded from any list of governor winning liberal states.

In Romney's case, he wasn't even competitive in his home state, so a one gubernatorial win translates into NOTHING in his case.

There are other states that have had Republican governors win, like Michigan.
