How many Governorships will Democrats lose in 2012?

My gut tells me WA will flip.

Has to happen sooner or later. How long has it been since WA had a GOP Governor? 21, 25 years?

Once Gregoire's current term has ended in just over a year, it will be 28 years. We haven't elected one since 1980 1984 1980.

Edit: reading is important

Your correction implies the last one was elected in 1984. My original post was correct.

Oh shoot, you're right. I was too focused on dates that I read it wrong. Sorry about that
