Like most super popular public figures, Larry Hogan is likely overrated. Still, I would not mind him winning re-election. I really do not mind Phil Scott or Charlie Baker winning re-election either.

Rauner, I hope he loses to a non corrupt democrat though.

As of this time, I do not know enough about row officers of opposing party to care. Really, outside your own state, who cares who is Treasurer of Alabama.

Like you mentioned, I wouldn't be heartbroken if Phil Scott, Baker, and Hogan won.

Same here. Particularly Scott and Hogan

New York Wink

Other than that, there are a few places where I don't mind the Republican that much, but I still would rather have a Democrat.

None as my first choice but I could see myself voting for one as a protest to some awful Democrat *cough*Cuomo*cough*

In all seriousness though, I'd vote for Cuomo over any Republican.

Everybody should because Young Boozer has the best name of any row officer in the country.

As a centrist Indie i like some Democratic governors and some Republican. Among Republicans - usually the most moderate (in conservative state - pragmatic conservatives) types: Baker, Scott (VT), Hogan. Haslam, Sandoval, Sununu, Rauner, Snyder, Kasich are more or less acceptable to me too. Among Democrats - Bullock, Justice (i generally like politicians able to win in "hostile" states, and that's additional plus for Baker, Scott and Hogan too), Cooper, JBE, Brown (CA) and few other... As usual - i strongly dislike "ideology-driven" politicians as governors (be it Brownback, Scott (FL), or Malloy). Thankfully - there are much less of them among governors then among congressmembers...

Among other offices - Hood (MS), Wyman (WA) and some other. The point remains the same....

I would have nothing against the reelection of Charlie Baker and Larry Hogan. Would also be ok with John Kasich, if he could run again. I still have mixed feelings about Bruce Rauner. A little too radical on econmic policy, but far better than most GOP governors. Also unsure about Pennsylvania because Tom Wolf is obviously not doing such a good job. I was all for Tom Corbett in 2014, the only Republican I supported that cycle. So, depends on the candidate there in Pennsylvania the next time. Sadly Corby won't come back.

Nothing really wrong with Gavin Newsom winning, I suppose. Not like it's a contest, anyway. I also recently supported Governor Justice on the basis of baddassery.

Only New Hampshire. Stefany Shaheen or Ann Kuster would be nice. I hope Sununu loses in 2018!

Because it would advance your narrative

None.  But, if I had to have one, it would be JBE, since he is socially conservative

If you actually support her Republican opponent, sure.
