How many former governors will win their old job back in 2010?

[Lunar]

Former governors, at my count, are running in Oregon, California, Iowa, Georgia, and Guam [curveball!].  Edit: and Maryland

How many of them will win, do you think?

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

California and definately Oregon and maybe one of the following excluding Guam MD, GA, and or IA.

[Lunar]

Oh crap I forgot about MD, this is one of those boards where I can't delete my own threads though.  Oh well.

What does everyone on this forum say Oregon, Chris Dudley is preforming strongly in the polls and has been leading in some of them.

Which means although Dudley could very well end up losing this race is far from decided.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

California for sure and likely Iowa.

Iowa is a lock.  Culver is probably hunting for a new job already.  I'll toss in Maryland as an upset.

I'd say California is more of an upset since Whitman has the advantage in everything except the polls, but Maryland could happen under the right conditions

Whittman won't beat Brown, she hasn't lead in a single poll since the La Times had her ahead in March and Brown has slowly improved and is ahead by seven. Pat O'Malley should win by four points.

Whitman has the advantage in everything except the polls

That means she's losing, even with all her money against zero opposition spending. When the Brown campaign gets going, she'll be crushed.

The immigration reform is popular with the general public but unpopular with the latinos we will have to wait and see if the boarder state GOP will or won't have a backlash in the polls.

That's exactly what I'm saying in the sense that she could very well end up losing against Brown, however I'm not calling anything "certain" this far out.

If Brandstad wins and serves out the whole term, he would be the 2nd longest serving Governor in U.S. history with 20 years, beaten only by George Clinton's 21 years as New York Governor. Brandstad could plausibly win another term after that, too, and take the record (though Clinton would still have the continuous record).

[Holmes]

CA, OR and IA.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Barnes is a lock for the Democratic nomination in Georgia, but I just can't see how he has any chance of winning in November.  I think he's thrown any chance he may have had by running to the left during the primary when he didn't need to.

[Ronnie]

California for sure and likely Iowa.

If you really think California is a lock, then you're kidding yourself.

I think Branstad is going to win, but the notion that Vander Plaats might run should make Branstad worry.

[Free Palestine]

Unfortunately, Jerry Brown is likely to win in California.

[Citizen (The) Doctor]

OR, and CA in a smaller margin...as long as Brown doesn't make any gaffes and capitalizes on Whitman's refusal to debate, he'll do fine.

[Bacon King]

All states except MD. Don't know anything about Guam so I won't comment.
