Yes, you are right, it didn't help Bush, but that's because the Republicans don't use voter fraud and manipulated election laws. Who's to say what mischief the Demonrats could accomplish with all those Democrat govenorships.

I'd be more worried about Dems in county clerk, Secretary of State, and state Supreme Courts than in the governor's office. The former have far more ability to countenance fraud and manipulate election laws than do governors. You notice Jeb really was in no position to do much of anything for Dubya even if he hadn't recused himself.
