Sorry, Azmagic, but Brewer is toast.

She's been slicing herself up for several months.

Much of her staff has jumpted ship.

She may not even seek nomination.

The real question is who will be the Republican nominee.

Suggest you check Sonoran Alliance for updates on the situation.
Where are Vernon Parker and Dean Martin in their beliefs?  I want to find the most articulate conservative of the two and one that will go on the national circuit to attack Obama.  Renewed prosperity in our state can be used as a counter to all of the President's failed programs.  I would prefer Parker (since he's black and good looking, makes it easier) to have those qualities.  He's from PV though, and that could signal a McCain-like elite republican sort of deal - I dont want that.  And, as for the dems Goddard has another thing coming though if he expects to easily make it through the primary.  Gordon and Thomas are just itching to bring their machine statewide.

Well, the suverys (and insiders) indicate that Dean Martin is favored by conservative Republicans as Parker is an enigma.

I seriously doubt Whitman would win. Campbell or even Poizner stand a much better chance.

Whitman committed political suicide the other day by declaring herself in favor of taxpayer funded abortions, supporting drastic 'gun control' and favoring taxpayers paying welfare for illegal aliens.

Oh, and she also adores Van Jones, the commie that got pushed under the bus by Obama.

Yep, Whitman's not winning now for sure - she wont make it out of the primary.  I am taking a close look at Campbell though.  Former SF Mayor Willie Brown wrote an article about him saying how focused he is compared to all D or R candidates and that his could make him king in the end.  Willie's a pretty shrewd political mind, so I'm keeping my eyeball on that one.

Bill White is running for senate not for governor and Hutchinson apears to be in a position to beat Perry. At least for now the texas race looks to be Hutchinson vs. Friedman. in that case Hutchinson will win big.

I think CA and MI will be a test to the Dems like NJ.  Doesn't always vote the same in Presidential elections like it does in midterm elections.  NJ, CA, and Mi will be taken like NJ and CO will be taken like VA.  Dems best case scenario is an even split in the governorships, but it will be a narrow republican victory or an even split.

The governors Race in NJ is basically due to Corzine's unpopularity. Corzine-NJ can win if voters in NJ despise Christie-NJ as much as they despise Corzine. VA votes for the opposing party as the President.  Looking at other Governors Race.
Republicans are going to win the Governorship in every Southern State except for AR- which Beebe-will handily win. Republicans will pick up the Governorship in OK and TN. and hold onto AL,FL,GA,and SC.  Republicans will also pick up the Governorship of KS and WY and MI and PA two battleground states which switches parties every 8 years.
Democrats will pickup the Governorships in AZ,CA,HI,MN,and VT. RI is a tossup with either Chaffee or DEM nominee.

It's not to say that the GOP isn't favored to win in MI or PA or WI but those states are must win states critical to electoral victory in 2012.  We must hold those states if we have any chance in OH or CO or NV or even FL in 2012.  Back in the past, those states changed parties when the GOP were winning federal races back in the 90's.  Those aren't GOP trending states and the Dems will have a playing field in WI, PA, and MI in 2010.

During the 1990 and 1994 Governors Races. Republicans won the governorships in California(Pete Wilson-R),Illinios(Jim Edgar-R),Iowa(Terry Brandstad-R),Massachusetts(Bill Weld-R),Michigan(John Engler-R),Minnesota(Arne Carlson-R),New Hampshire(Steve Merill-R),Ohio(George Voinovich-R),and Wisconsin(Tommy Thompson-R). and Bill Clinton carried those states in 1992 and 1994.
Looking at the State which sent Republicans to the governorships in 1994 that voted Democratic at the presidential level.- Connecticut-(John Rowland/Jodi Rell-R), New York (George Pataki-R), Pennsylvania(Tom Ridge-R),and Rhode Island(Lincoln Almond/Don Carcieri-R).
Having a Democratic governor in Michigan,Ohio,Pennsylvania,and Florida is critical in the 2012 Congressional redistricting effort.

As we saw in the 2006 campaign cycle, the GOp was ahead in those states at this point during the campaign.  I am rooting for Knox in PA, he would have the best chance of beating Corbett.

As far as AZ goes, if the polling persist like it is, she won't run in the primary.  AZ is like MO, it likes its checks and balances but McCain can help anyone but Brewer win a state wide race.

     Is Dave Freudenthal considering retiring or has he become unpopular? I find it odd that so many people think the Republicans will pick up the Governor's Mansion in Wyoming.

He's term-limited; he's made noises about challenging the term limit law in court, but he's been dragging his feet on it, so everyone is probably assuming he's not going to do that.

     Okay, that makes sense. I haven't been following much of the 2010 elections until now, so I couldn't figure out why so many people figured the Republicans would win it, especially since this site lists it as an incumbent-held seat rather than an open one.

     Nominating Campbell would be very good. Nominating Poizner would be good too. Nominating Whitman would be disastrous.

Yeah, basically. If Republicans don't want to win they will nominate Whitman, which I predict is exactly what will happen.

Right now, Artur Davis is probably going to barely win Alabama. The GOP nominee is most likely going to be Byrne or Moore, which are both far less popular than Davis. Davis has the younger people, much of the urban areas, the black belt, etc. behind him. He has just enough to pull it off. Though, whomever the GOP nominee will be, he or she will most likely place emphasis the success of the Riley (R) administration.
