Governor's races
I was looking at CQPolitics.com and it showed an overview of all of the upcoming gubernatorial races around the country. The party that I was fairly amazed by is that only one race is considered Safe Republican which means that there is more than a 70% chance that the republican will win. That one state is our very own Governor. Jim Rogers the executive director of the State democratic party has said that the democrats will have a challenger for the governors mansion however viability is an issue. Even in the solid south where there are six state executive races only one is listed as "safe" and the is Arkansas Governor Mike Beebe. Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina are listed as "leans republican" which means that there is only a little better than a 50-50 chance that the republican will win. The sixth race is Florida since sitting governor Charlie Crist is running for U.S. Senate the governors mansion in Tallahassee has been thrown into the "toss up" category. Now the there is ray's of sunshine in the clouds which are the two gubernatorial races this year in Virginia and New Jersey Republicans have a very good chance of taking one if not both races. Let's work and hope that these two races will give us the momentum in 2010.
