DEMOCRATS: Pick one competitive governor's race to lose

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

This should be interesting. Your options are in the poll above, I've excluded everything I have rated as Safe R/D.

Note: In this hypothetical, you are guaranteed victory in all of the other competitive races. So, basically, this is a poll of which republican governor/governor candidate you like the most among non-safe races.

[IceSpear]

I'm probably Coakley's only defender here, but...Massachusetts. I considered RI but even though I like Coakley more than Raimondo, Baker is far better than Fung.

[Gass3268]

Idaho because its Idaho

[Eraserhead]

Alaska. Not gonna be heartbroken if Sarah Palin's chosen candidate loses.

[morgieb]

Rhode Island. Raimondo isn't a real Democrat and we have supermajorities here anyway.

EDIT: Actually, change to Massachusetts, after reading about that scandal that wormyguy posted.

Same. I think Coakley gets an unfair rap on the Atlas and I hope she wins come election day, but Charlie Baker isn't nearly as bad as all the other Republicans running for governor.

[Vega]

Massachusetts, because Baker isn't that bad, and he'll be kept in check by the MA Legislature.

[SWE]

Not a Democrat, but Massachusetts is the correct answer

[NerdyBohemian]

Rhode Island. Anything to stop Raimondo from trying to get into the federal government and to have her be a lesson to Democrats everywhere that you don't screw over public-sector unions.

[smoltchanov]

A moderate (but still left-of-center) Indie: obviously, a Massachusetts. Both because Baker is, probably, the most moderate of 36 Republican governor candidates, and because of Democratic dominance of Massachusetts legislature..

[Thomas D]

I'd be willing to forfeit my home state.

[Boston Bread]

Idaho, considering the Dem candidate voted for Romney and he was a long shot anyways. Wisconsin, Kansas, Michigan, and Maine are the races I want democrats to win the most. I'm not terribly concerned with the results of MA, RI, HI, and MD

[xavier110]

I literally couldn't care less if Coakley lost. I'd possibly even consider voting Baker if I were in Massachusetts.

[Chance92]

Massachusetts. Coakley is an awful candidate and awful person in just about every regard, while Baker is perhaps the most tolerable Republican in the running this cycle. All in all, I could think of worse losses.

[Grumpier Than Thou]

Yeah, screw Coakley.

[free my dawg]

South Carolina. Not a big fan of Sheheen supporting RTW.

[Dixie Reborn]

Not a Democrat, but Massachusetts is the correct answer

[Mr. Smith]

Idaho or Alaska methinks, dunno which to narrow it down to.

[publicunofficial]

I literally couldn't care less if Coakley lost. I'd possibly even consider voting Baker if I were in Massachusetts.

[Mr. Illini]

Massachusetts Republicans are the best Republicans

[President Johnson]

I would vote for Pennsylvania. Corbett isn't that bad. However, here I'm going to pick MA. Baker seems to be ok.

[New_Conservative]

Massachusetts Republicans are the best Republicans

Agreed

[user12345]

Massachusetts, Baker seems like a sensible moderate guy. I would vote for him if I lived in Massachusetts.

[smoltchanov]

Massachusetts, Baker seems like a sensible moderate guy. I would vote for him if I lived in Massachusetts.

Me too. Especially because i strongly dislike Coakley..

[Grumpier Than Thou]

I would vote for Pennsylvania. Corbett isn't that bad. However, here I'm going to pick MA. Baker seems to be ok.

Why are you such a Corbett fanboy? Do you hate public education or something?
