I managed to get all 50 on this one. North Dakota, Montana, and Mississippi gave me a bit of trouble.

I got all except South Dakota within the first 6 minutes, then gave up because I had absolutely no clue about it. Apparently the governor there is called Dennis Daugaard. No idea why I could remember Dalrymple but not this guy.

Forgot a few. I didn't follow the gubernatorial races in 2012, yet most of the Governors I missed were elected in 2010 Tongue.

I missed Alabama (Bentley), Connecticut (I kept thinking his name was Nahum Something-had I remembered the "Dannal" part, the Molloy would have come), Delaware (I though Markell was a Senator Tongue), Kentucky (Beshear), Maine (this one drove me crazy since I had LePage's picture clear in my head), Michigan and Minnesota (Snyder and Dayton-again, drove me crazy since I had them in my head), Nebraska (Heineman), Nevada (Sandoval-no idea how I missed him), North Dakota (Dalrymple), Oregon (Kitzhaber), Utah (Herbert), Vermont (Shumlin), Washington (Inslee).

I got 18, but I don't follow other states' gubernatorial races very much.

All of 'em but it took me forever to figure out how to spell Daugaard.

44/50, though I made a lot of mistakes (mostly due to not knowing the correct spellings) before remembering it right.

Straight up forgot Montana, North Dakota, Oregon, and Washington.

Missed South Dakota because I thought it was "Dugaard" rather than "Daugaard", and West Virginia, since I thought Tomblin's middle name was "Roy" rather than "Ray".

You didn't have to type their entire name, you could just type the surname and it would recognize it.

Missed Markell for some reason, Heineman, Dalrymple, Herbert, and Inslee (I knew it was an In- name).

16/50. Upon seeing the names I'd missed the only one I knew and could have gotten was Martin O'Malley.

All 50 with 5 minutes, 17 seconds to spare. I breezed through most of them, but NE (again), AK, WV, AR and UT gave me the toughest trouble. I'm kind of shocked myself that I know the Governors better than I do Senators.

You're obviously including the illegitimate anti-Governors

All 50.  Of course, I didn't need a quiz to tell me that.
