Going back to yesterday’s topic of 2012 hopefuls, if we want to focus on a Governor, there were 6 Republican Governors who were not up for re-election this past November:
Indiana - Mitch Daniels
Louisians - Bobby Jindal
Mississippi - Haley Barbour
New Jersey - Chris Christie
North Dakota - John Hoeven
Virginia - Bob Mcdonell
There were 23 Republicans elected in November:
Alabama - Robert Bentley
Alaska - Sean Parnell
Arizona - Jan Brewer
Florida - Rick Scott
Georgia - Nathan Deal
Idaho - Butch Otter
Iowa - Terry Branstad
Kansas - Sam Brownback
Maine - Paul LePage
Michigan - Rick Snyder
Nebraska - Dave Heineman
Nevada - Brian Sandoval
New Mexico - Susana Martinez
Ohio - John Kasich
Oklahoma - Mary Fallin
Pennsylvania - Tom Corbett
South Carolina - Nikki Haley
South Dakota - Dennis Daugaard
Tennessee - Bill Haslam
Texas - Rick Perry
Utah - Gary Herbert
Wisconsin - Scott Walker
Wyoming - Matt Mead
So, out of those two lists, are any exciting?
IMO, Robert Bentley is NOT exciting. I’ve heard conflicting things about him. I’m in a wait-and-see position.
Nikki Haley....
I like Christie on some things. NO, NO, NO to the 1,000,000th power on Mitch Daniels.
