Predict the 2018 Gubernatorial Results

[Vega]

Rauner, Walker (or Kleefisch if Walker becomes president) and Hogan lose re-election
Dems caputure open seats in Iowa, Nevada, Maine, and Michigan
Republicans capture open seats in New Hampshire and Colorado, and Bill Walker switches to Republican.

This strikes me as really accurate. But I can't help but feel that in order for Mallott made Walker commit to serving out his terms as a Independent. Maybe not.

I don't know how anyone could put Massachusetts at solid R. Obviously Baker could do very well and be re-elected, but here more than 3 years out from the election and a state as liberal as Massachusetts, there is a certainty of uncertainty about how it will go in 2018.

He also might not run - as Republican governors there tend not to.

Yeah, that was just Romney.

And Swift, Cellucci - Weld quit during his second term. Obviously I'm just joking, but it's an odd pattern.
