You endorse Griffith but refuse to endorse Davis?

[Mr. Illini]

You endorse Griffith but refuse to endorse Davis?

While I have obviously endorsed pro-choice candidates, I refuse to endorse someone who rose to fame solely on that issue.

I'm pretty sure Corbett has more Democratic crossover support in Germany than he does in Pennsylvania.

[Dixie Reborn]

Endorsements are now up!

Lol, I'm a gubernatorial hack this year:

RIP Brownback

* subject to change

[RI]

This may easily change:

Why aren't you endorsing Wendy Davis?

[SWE]

[Vega]

67% partisan.

[Niemeyerite]

[IceSpear]

Alabama: Nope. Not even a Prof. Victor Sanchez Williams-esque option aside from those two terrible choices?
Nevada: Sandoval easily deserves re-election, especially over a joke candidate that couldn't even beat nobody.
New York: If it was actually a close race I'd probably crush my nose and vote Cuomo, but luckily that won't be a concern.
Ohio: lolFitzGerald
Tennessee: Same reason I endorsed Alexander. Haslam's not too bad considering it's Tennessee plus the Democrat is a joke.

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

https://uselectionatlas.org/ENDORSE/GOVERNOR/2014/endorse.php?action=indpred&id=26

53% Partisan. My most reluctant endorsements are in NE, AL, and AR.

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

67% partisan.

Bentley??

[President Johnson]

Now I also created a map

[free my dawg]

AK - Walker
MA - Falchuk (pretty sure he's to the left of Coakley, but United Independents)
NY - Hawkins
SC - Reeves (Whatever he's from)
TN - Infante (Green)

FitzGerald still gets the endorsement for hooking up with the MILF.

[LeBron]

Alabama - No endorsement, (Griffith is to the right of Bentley, so absolutely no way. Just no)
Alaska - Bill Walker (I)
Arizona - Fred DuVal (D)
Arkansas - Josh Drake (G), (Ross is somehow even worse than Pryor plus the Green candidate's name is epic)
California - Jerry Brown (D), reluctantly
Colorado - John Hickenlooper (D), enthusiastically
Connecticut - Dan Malloy (D), enthusiastically
Florida - Charlie Crist (D)
Georgia - Jason Carter (D)
Hawaii - David Ige (D)
Idaho - A.J. Balukoff (D)
Illinois - Pat Quinn (D)
Iowa - Jack Hatch (D), reluctantly
Kansas - Paul Davis (D), enthusiastically
Maine - Mike Michaud (D), enthusiastically
Maryland - Anthony Brown (D)
Massachusetts - Martha Coakley (D)
Michigan - Paul Homeniuk (G)
Minnesota - Mark Dayton (DFL), enthusiastically
Nebraska - Chuck Hassebrook (D), reluctantly
Nevada - Brian Sandoval (R), it was either endorse him or endorse the real Democratic nominee, NOTA
New Hampshire - Maggie Hassan (D), enthusiastically
New Mexico - Gary King (D)
New York - Howie Hawkins (G)
Ohio - Ed FitzGerald (D), enthusiastically
Oklahoma - No endorsement (Dorman is an unsupportable sociocon while Prawdzienski, the Libertarian-affiliated Independent wants to abolish the personal income tax as we know it)
Oregon - John Kitzhaber (D), enthusiastically
Pennsylvania - No endorsement (Wolf's unsupportable, imo)
Rhode Island - Gina Raimondo (D)
South Carolina - Vincent Sheheen (D), reluctantly
South Dakota - Susan Wismer (D)
Tennessee - Isa Infante (G), (the Democrat is a joke and Haslam is still too conservative - ex. appealed gay marriage earlier this year and refuses to expand Medicaid)
Texas - Wendy Davis (D)
Vermont - Peter Shumlin (D)
Wisconsin - Mary Burke (D)
Wyoming - Pete Gosar (D)

[Sol]

Now I also created a map

Corbett???

[President Johnson]

Now I also created a map

Corbett???

Yeah; I don't agree with Corbett on all issues, but I like this guy. He says what he thinks and has (in my opinion, I respekt anyone else who disagrees) a good sense of humor. I don't understand why he is so extremely unpopular. Other republican governors are far worse than Corbett, who, I believe, was treated unfair by the media.
