View Full Version : Republicans Governors Facing Extinction As Democratic Wave Looms

While the mainstream media is obsessed with the contest for control of the Senate, Democrats are poised to wipe out the Republican governor class of 2010. Rick Snyder, Sam Brownback, Rick Scott, Tom Corbett, Scott Walker and others are facing a growing Democratic wave.

Politico reported, “The unsettled gubernatorial landscape has drawn a fraction of the attention of the seesawing battle for the Senate. Yet the state of play is dramatic in its own right: The fate of big-name Republicans such as Wisconsin’s Scott Walker, Florida’s Rick Scott and Michigan’s Rick Snyder are all on the line, and Democrats such as Colorado’s John Hickenlooper and Illinois’ Pat Quinn are locked in tough reelection races that could go either way.”

What Democrats are putting together at the state level is being ignored, but it is even more impressive than how strongly Democratic senate candidates are running in red states. Control of the Senate is very important, but governors impact the day to day lives of their citizens more than senators.

Republicans are changing and harming millions of lives at the state level. The war on women’s reproductive rights, voter suppression efforts, the redistribution of wealth upwards through tax cut policies, devastating cuts to public education, rollback on environmental regulations, cuts to programs for those who are in need, the refusal to expand Medicaid, and build state health insurance exchanges are all policies that have been undertaken at the state level.

Congressional Republicans have used their power to prevent the federal government from doing anything, while Republican governors have been the ones who have implemented the Koch/ALEC agenda. There are a few Democrats who are in tight contests this year, but the incumbent governors who are on life support are Republicans.

This post, a Gubnaship, and $4.27 gets you a cup of coffee.

Let's say your right there is a wave of Gubnaships lost by republicans, best I can tell your wave is 5, nonetheless what does it mean?

I would trade you 5 Gubnaships for the congress and senate any day and twice on Sunday's.......But I like it you are looking for some cover, on the run as they say. It wasn't too long go you were posting how the tide was turning and the Senate would not be lost yada yada...........Of course its all cut and paste so we know non of it is your research anyway.

Republicans are doing well in New England though. Mass and CT look like they will elect republican governors.
