Will Democrats ever regain a majority of governorships again?

Maryland and Massachusetts, depending on how that goes down, are probably the most obvious targets in 2018. 2018 looks pretty good for them, I have to say.

Oklahoma could be Tier 2 in the right situation - Dorman performed respectably this year, and four more years of Fallin isn't going to be good for the Republicans. Chances are, if 2018 is a Democrat wave, then Oklahoma is definitely possible.

What's the problem with Fallin? Ok, she is a religious nutjob but I thought that would be a plus in freaking Oklahoma.

She fumbled education pretty hard here, which is like one of three issues Oklahomans care about. For me, what angers me most is she won't touch our insane sales tax, which is one of the highest in the nation.

A Republican not willing to even consider lowering a tax? Huh??

Well there is a faction of Republicans that want a national sales tax in replace of the income tax, so the sales tax would have to go up in order for the income tax to go down.

Could Joe Dorman be the Charlie Baker of 2018?

We'll see. He could certainly get Todd Hiett as an opponent (he lost the Lt. Gov. election to Jari Askins despite being generally favored.) It would probably take a weak sauce opponent.

Well yeah, there's really nowhere to go but up.

It also depends on how they govern. I could see Charlie Baker winning re-election by a massive margin due to being bipartisan or what not.
