Future Governors

[TX Conservative Dem]

Kim Guadango of New Jersey.

[TX Conservative Dem]

U.S. Senator Bob Casey, Jr., (D-PA) in 2018 if Corbett wins reelection in November .

[Potatoe]

Kim Guadango of New Jersey.

How, when and why?

[TX Conservative Dem]

Guadango would keep the New Jersey governorship in GOP hands in 2017 due to Christie's popularity.

Were you asleep during the entirety of this year? Why is Christie still popular? Have you not heard of Bridgegate or the Hoboken scandal?

[TX Conservative Dem]

Only way Democrats get the NJ governorship in 2017 is IF the White House goes to the Republicans in 2016.

You do realize that Christie isn't popular, and do I even need to mention Bridge gate and Hoboken?

[TX Conservative Dem]

Not from what I've heard on Fox News.

*facepalm*

[TX Conservative Dem]

In Wisconsin, the Red Head female LG in 2018 after Walker steps aside following 2 terms.

Ohio: Josh Mandel or Mary Taylor.

[Bandit3 the Worker]

Josh Mandel is such a little twerp that I can't imagine him winning anything else except a twerp contest.

[TX Conservative Dem]

What about any of the young politicos in Arizona?

[CLARENCE 2015!]

Josh Mandel is such a little twerp that I can't imagine him winning anything else except a twerp contest.

You are talking about a combat veteran of the USMC

[TJ in Oregon]

Josh Mandel would have to undergo a major image rehabilitation to have a remote chance of being elected governor. He's about as toxic of a name as it gets in Ohio right now.

[Fed. Pac. Chairman Devin]

I'm hoping Mark Schoesler will run for gov in 2020, if Inslee if reelected. Otherwise I would like to see Cathy Mcmorris Rodgers.

[publicunofficial]

What are Mandel's reelection chances this year?

Worse than every other statewide official in Ohio, but no worse than Toss-Up.

I'm hoping Mark Schoesler will run for gov in 2020, if Inslee if reelected. Otherwise I would like to see Cathy Mcmorris Rodgers.

I think Rodgers has too much power in the House to give it up for a risky Governor run. Also, I don't expect anyone east of the Cascades to be elected to anything anytime soon. Andy Hill , Steve Litzow, Cathy Dahlquist, and Linda Kochmar would be better choices.

And yet he lost badly to a liberal in a swing state.

I think he's referring to the twerp comment.

I know wouldn't win. I want him to run so I can take his seat.

[OnlyAlb]

Joseph P. Kennedy III is he doesn't make a run for the Senate in the Future.

[TX Conservative Dem]

Y'all don't see Inslee going for a 3rd term in 2020 ?

Sooner or later, someone's gonna break that two term tradition by seeking a 3rd term.

[Fed. Pac. Chairman Devin]

Rosellini already tried, and Evans did it.

[TX Conservative Dem]

2 Washington State governors successfully won 3rd terms.

What's his face served from 1941-1945; 1949-1957.

[Flake]

Hey Texas Conservative,  um I think it would be better for all of us if you could just keep to a few posts instead of a post for every single sentence.

It's just really spammy.

[Never]

As a general rule:


AG = Aspiring Governor

That makes sense. The office is a good springboard for Governor.

In Virginia, I think that Attorney General Herring could suceed McAuliffe in the Governor's Mansion, but he will probably have a long slog against the Republican nominee.

AG Kamala Harris probably has a good chance at becoming Governor of California

AG Pam Bondi could become Governor of Florida, but the Republicans do have a fairly deep bench here, given that there are so many Republican congressmen and mayors who might want to run in a gubernatorial election.

AG Lisa Madigan might become Governor of Illinois, especially if Rauner (R) defeats Gov. Quinn, which would make this race a prime Democratic target in 2018.

AG Catherine Cortez Masto is probably going to run for Governor after Sandoval leaves office in Nevada.

AG Kathleen Kane is probably a good candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania in the future, but her chance might be a while from now, especially if a Democrat defeats Gov. Corbett this year and remains in office for two terms.

Of course, AG's Abbott (R-TX), Coakley (D-MA), and Beau Biden (D-DE) will probably end up as Governors very soon.
