Successful Democrat Governors

I remember once while flying, I requested some light reading, the stewardess gave me a leaflet with that title.

Good question. This will be avoided by the GOPe
and then brought up by Obama and his MSM in October.

EVERY DEMOCRATIC GOVERNOR IS BETTER THAN ROMNEY WAS

Here are the facts from CATO.

---

MITT ROMNEY - THE PROVEN BAD GOVERNOR

"As U.S. real output grew 13 percent between 2002 and 2006, Massachusetts trailed at 9 percent.
* Manufacturing employment fell 7 percent nationwide those years, but sank 14 percent under Romney, placing Massachusetts 48th among the states.
* Between fall 2003 and autumn 2006, U.S. job growth averaged 5.4 percent, nearly three times Massachusetts' anemic 1.9 percent pace.
* While 8 million Americans over age 16 found work between 2002 and 2006, the number of employed Massachusetts residents actually declined by 8,500 during those years.
"Massachusetts was the only state to have failed to post any gain in its pool of employed residents," professors Sum and McLaughlin concluded.
In an April 2003 meeting with the Massachusetts congressional delegation in Washington, Romney failed to endorse President Bush's $726 billion tax-cut proposal."

The problem with your question is that the dim media and the dim governor define their on success and therefore it is so.

If you mean is there a dim-gov that isn't running a huge deficit, huge taxes, etc...the answer is no.

They don't exist!

I cite my own state of Maryland as exhibit 1.

Schweitzer of Montana hasn't done to bad for a Dim. He's pro-gun, pro-states rights and Montana has a large budget surplus.

California is doing GREAT!

Low UN-employement, great house prices, super quality of life, heck we got so much we are going to put in 100 billion dollar fast rail system and give raises across the board.

GO CA

“Why isn’t THIS a talking point wit the RNC?

Why are we always playing defense?”

A better talking point would be: who runs the toilet states/cities? Who’s been in charge of Detroit/Baltimore? Who was in charge of NYC pre-Giuliani, or California pre-Arnie? Wait a couple years before bringing up California, on second thought. Thankfully, should be just in time for the rest of the nation to start smelling its rotting corpse.

[Little Ray]

“Zig-Zag” Zell Miller. Democrat governor of Georgia.

Of course, he was more conservative than a lot of ‘Pubbies and waaaaaaay more conservative than the Democrat party in general.

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

While certainly no fan of Jay Nixon, he hasn’t been overly liberal in his time in the Governor’s mansion in Missouri.

[kabar]

Cuomo (NY) is probably the best example. He is acting more like a Rep when it comes to fiscal issues.

[Gay State Conservative]

We have a successful Governor here in the Gay State.His greatest success was convincing a fellow Rat office holder to pretend to leave the Rat Party and to run against him as a “conservative”.The result? Coupe Deval,Osama Obama’s good buddy from their Chicago street thug days,won reelection with 48% of the vote.

[BO Stinkss]

George Wallace?

[blueunicorn6]

Governor Brian Swindler of MT claims to be a success. He lucked into an oil boom. His only campaign issue for two campaigns was that he was going to turn MT coal into oil. Turns out he’s not Harry Potter and the only thing he can successfully change is food into crap.
