Your governors during your lifetime

[Free Bird]

Terry Branstad for pretty much all of it. That guy has some staying power.

I take it when he came back in 2010, you had no idea how to feel. Like a Dark Knight Rises feel, almost is what I would have.

[Mr. Illini]

Quinn will be as of Thursday this week.

And you'll be registering to vote for him as well?!

[TNF]

Quinn will be as of Thursday this week.

And you'll be registering to vote for him as well?!

Nah, I won't be voting for Quinn the pension thief. Assuming that I get registered in time to vote, I'll be voting for the Green Party nominee, Scott Summers.

[Mr. Illini]

Nah, I won't be voting for Quinn the pension thief. Assuming that I get registered in time to vote, I'll be voting for the Green Party nominee, Scott Summers.

I figured, but a vote for Green is one less vote to stop Scott Walker Lite from getting into the Governor's Mansion.

Nah, I won't be voting for Quinn the pension thief. Assuming that I get registered in time to vote, I'll be voting for the Green Party nominee, Scott Summers.

I was wondering why the page looked so familiar

Mario Cuomo, George Pataki, Eliot Spitzer, David Paterson and Andrew Cuomo (and soon, Kathy Hochul).

Even if you include Hochul, Mario Cuomo's the best out of this group, which says more about the quality of New York Governors since he lost to Pataki than anything else.
