Worst state governor EVER? [View all]

Well, in recent memory anyway.

The results are in for the worst present governor:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10021408584

and I am pleased to announce that Scott Walker (R-WI), Rick Scott (R-FL) and Jan Brewer (R-AZ) have advanced to the Worst State Governor EVER poll. (This one will be a little bit more bipartisan; we've had our share of clunkers in the past.)

edit: To the repukes who didn't quite make the cut, thanks for playing, and I'm sure you'll enjoy this copy of our home game.
