Since we have one for the Senate, I figure we might as well have one here as well.

I'll do my own list later.

The only one I really care about is making sure Pat Quinn defeats Bill Brady.

I'm not paying enough attention to many of the Governor's races yet. So far, i'm backing Cuomo, Quinn, Patrick, Lynch and Brown in their respective races.

Democrats. Redistricting is important. In states where that doesn't matter I don't really care at all.

The only ones I have any interest in are CA, CO, GA, HI, IL, OR, WI, and I'm rooting for the Democrats in all of them. Oh, and RI, as long as Chafee or the Dem wins.

I don't understand the love for Gresham Barrett. He's pretty much a bog-standard Republican drone (Of course, that's some what of a positive in a Republican Primary), with little to no standing achievements. I remember him being booed at a Tea Party Rally (I don't know why) and in response, practically started begging for Teapartier support, trying every single Tea-party one liner there was in the book. "Liberal Democrats in Washington!" to no avail. It was pathetic. Still better than Bauer I suppose.

I find it amusing that all these Republicans are supporting a machine Democrat for Governor of Massachusetts.

Yeah, but there's sort of a Chafee-esque vibe from him, nationally, that makes him seem electable.

     I hope that Meg Whitman wins so that California can remain under a divided government. Beyond that I don't really care.

I think he's talking about Cahill, considering that he was formerly one of the members of the Patrick administration.

Like of the ones that actually have a shot? Let's see, from what we know... Lynch, Libby Mitchell, Rowe, Mills, Markowitz, Racine, Patrick, Baker, Cahill?, Lamont, Chaffee, Lynch(RI), Cuomo(if he runs), Hickenlooper, Abercrombie, Brown, Bernero(I think), Culver(no chance), Denish(maybe, at least strong DPs), Kelliher? Uh, maybe that's it.
