Ugh, so many votes for Climbing Maggie as best governor? Atlas disgusts me.

She also tied for worst, to be fair (not that I advocate this or anything, she's a perfectly fine governor)

Sad that Corby is PA's worst one.

But glad to see Jerry Brown as California's best. He's the best governor in the whole country as of now.

TBF, most of it was probably to spite you. And she has been a good governor.

Kalwejt,

Rhode Island is supposed to be (republican) JOHN Chafee. I pointed it out in that thread too.
