Do we know who's replacing him as Governor? Should we be concerned that Bush has removed so many sitting governors for his cabinet, and they've gone DemocRatic (i.e.- Jersey, Michigan), or were they term limited anyway... Can't remember.

Olene Walker is replacing him as governor. She will be the first female governor of Utah ever. She is extremely qualified. However, the 2004 race is now wide open, hopefully Utahns will be smart and not elect a Dem to the office.
