Jeb Bush kisses illegal alien butt like his brother, Perry oozes status quo and don't rock the boat, and Daniels screwed up taxes. Those are some black marks on an otherwise conservative record. Owens is good but people blame for the CO Dem gains in 2004. My personal ranking of Top 10 Most Conservative Governors going by all incumbents would be:
1. Haley Barbour Mississippi (R) 2003 2007
2. Mark.Sanford South Carolina (R) 2002 2006
3. Sonny Perdue Georgia (R) 2002 2006
4. Timothy Pawlenty Minnesota (R) 2002 2006
5. John Hoeven North Dakota (R) 2000 2008
6. Dave Heineman Nebraska (R) 2005 2006
7. Donald L. Carcieri Rhode Island (R) 2002 2006
8. Matt Blunt Missouri (R) 2004 2008
9. Mike Rounds South Dakota (R) 2002 2006
10. Jon Huntsman, Jr. Utah (R) 2004 2008
