I was checking the Gubernatorial ratings at RRH. I think they did a good job overall, but they rate SC as more likely to flip than GA. Personally, I'd rate SC Lean R but GA in between Tilt/Lean R.

The problem for Carter is the run-off. I could certainly see a path where he wins a plurality on the November ballot, but getting 50% + 1 is tough.

Then again, I don't really see Haley as in that much danger.

Georgia, but I don't see Governor Sheheen or Governor Carter as particularly likely.

Georgia, the runoff makes it very hard for Carter, but he still has a better chance at defeating corruption-ridden Deal than a rematch of 2010 in South Carolina.

Josh Mandel was not suppose to be even competetive in OH.

I think should Kasich fall, alot of Govs like Haley or Walker can be defeated. OH, just like WI or MI may be the bellweathers of this election.

Georgia is more likely to flip in my view.

While Haley is not a strong candidate, South Carolina is far enough to the right to keep her from losing.

Both will flip.

Georgia will be easier though.

Neither.

GA and SC haven't sent Democrats to their respective Governor's Mansions since 1998.

SC is lean/likely R. GA is toss-up/lean R, so Georgia.

Plus another major scandal could easily come along and drown Deal.

Georgia, but I doubt that either will.

I love Georgia, I love Carten, I love Griffin, but you're all overestimating Carter's chances.

Both are lean rep.

But if I have to choose, GA, because Deal has more chances to fall by a scandal than Haley.

Does that mean Rauner can't win in Illinois? Illinois last elected a Republican in 1998.

South Carolina.  Last I heard, Haley's job approval was in the dumps (for some strange reason), and she only leads by single digits in the polls.
