Who is your Governor? How popular is (s)he? Do you like him/her?

[UrbScotty]

My Governor, Jennifer Granholm of Michigan, is a breath of fresh air after 12 years of living under John Engler. Despite the budget woes, she provided a balanced budget which many people seem to like. She is more popular than Bush, with a recent poll showing a 65% approval rating. (Bush's approval is right around the national average - 55-60%).

Things aree going all right in Michigan. How is it with your Governor?

By the way, you don't need to tell us how unpopular your Governor is if you live in any of the following states. We know the story:

California
Montana
New Jersey
New York
North Carolina
Ohio
Wisconsin

[bluestateguy]

1. Rickey Perry (TX)

I have not seen a poll on him in awhile, but this re-redistricting thing is bound to hurt him a bit.

[Skittles]

13. GOOD-HAIR PERRY IS A F***ING TURD

SAY IT LIKE IT IS.

[LoneStarLiberal]

14. Perry (TX)

The Austin Hair Helmet, like his predecessor, just makes me sick. If it is possible, I think Perry has fewer original thoughts than Bush did! He's damned lucky that he had that clod Tony Sanchez running against him in the last governor's race, because Sanchez is about the only person Perry could have beaten hands-down.

I hope redistricting will hurt him, but I don't think it will. If you looks at some of the overly-assinine things our state reps and senators say (and get elected anyway) you have to stop and wonder not about the rep or senator but about the knuckleheads that are electing them!

As one of my fellow Texas Democrats says, "The Democratic Party could run Jesus of Nazareth for President and this state will still belong to George Bush."

My question is how in the hell did the majority of Texans end up hoodwinked by a not-too-smart transplanted chowderhead? I simply do not see what conservative Texans see in him beyond the camraderie of the ignorant.

[GOPisEvil]

54. Rick Perry is a walking pile of pig shit!

And that's on his GOOD days! :grr:

[Ponderer]

56. Redistricting is more polarizing than unpopular

Republicans will like it, Democrats will hate it

[2bfree]

82. I hate that rat bastard Perry!

What a smug asshole! I hear is a horn-dog as well. Of course you don't hear about that much since he is a republican.

[goobergunch]

2. Ed Rendell

I haven't heard too much from Harrisburg, but I like him better than Schweiker or Ridge...and I loved how he said "I hate this budget".

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

3. Haha

Glad I don't have to tell the new york story. it breaks my heart to talk about satan's demon.

on edit: also known as bush's whore, rudy's right hand, etc..

[FarLeftRage]

34. What LPFF said is true!

wacky patacy of NY is just that and then some...

[JohnKleeb]

55. at least pataki is some what moderate

But alas I dont live there. It sucks all the dem states get repuke governors and here I am with a dem governor and repuke senators I'd much rather have the former like my across the river Marylanders.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

62. He'd like you to think he's moderate.

But in reality he is just like the rest.

[leftist_rebel1569]

66. including minnesota...

sorta. Repug govenor...Pawlenty...ugh

[BOSSHOG]

4. Ronnie Musgrove (D) of Mississippi

Has been good for state of economy. Got Nissan to move plant to state which opens this year. He is being challenged by haily barbour in the gubernatorial election this year. In other words, I love Ronnie Musgrove. And, to date, Musgrove has raised more campaign funds than the fatass conservative hater. I'm sure bush will make an appearance in the magnolia state on barbour's behalf.

[bluestateguy]

11. Seen any polls on that race?

I would so love for Haley Barbour to be spanked this November, as he is the ultimate corporate whore.

[goobergunch]

12. Only one...

and it's hideously old.

Barbour 28.9% Musgrove 49.0% MS State Univ. 4/1-14/02 4.1%

http://www.dcpoliticalreport.com/CurrentPolls.htm

[Maddy McCall]

24. We're gonna win--I have no doubt.

And Barbour won't be able to ride Bush's coattails on this one, because Bush's popularity is on the decline.

GO MUSGROVE!!!

[UrbScotty]

40. Well, I think Barbour will ride Bush's coattails.

He'll ride Bush's coattails to defeat!

[Maddy McCall]

25. Mitch Tyner is giving Barbour hell...Barbour can only reply

that Tyner is a puppet of Musgrove. That is laughable, because Tyner is a Republican lawyer!

[Warpy]

5. Richardson (NM)

Watch out for this guy! He's a DLC-blessed DINO. Although he may do well in the state department of somebody else, do NOT allow him to be on any ticket for the top office!

Case in point: he campaigned on a promise to remove the incredibly regressive tax on food and medical care in this state. What did he DO?
He cut taxes on the richest 1%, supposedly "to make our state more attractive to people who bring us jobs." What's been the effect? Our once solvent state is less so, not a single job has been created, and the rest of us are STILL overtaxed at the cash register.

Do NOT be fooled by this "trickle down" GOPer in Democrat drag.

[number9]

41. He also wanted to take money from the permanent fund

can't remember the exact story, but wanted to take millions of extra dollars out when only the interest has ever been used before.

New Mexico Rules!!!!! (yes, we do belong to the USA and are not part of Texas)

[Dimsdale]

6. Ed Rendell in Pa..

hasn't been in office long enough to allow the repukes to put out the word that he's responsible for Pa.'s financial woes. Blame will be shifted to him in due course and he will be "detested" like Gray Davis and Jim McGreevey.

[carolinayellowdog]

7. My last vote was for Mark Warner

although I'll be registered in NC for the next election. He's another breath of fresh Democrat air after the worst governor in my memory, James Gilmore (R), who concealed the impending state financial crisis and left Warner a huge budget mess. Warner has been honest and competent and may well have a future beyond Virginia politics.

His approval rating is over 60% according to this article in the Richmond paper, but he has not been so popular with the Republican General Assembly:

[Dudley_DUright]

8. Jeb

'nuff said.

[JanMichael]

19. Jeb...You too?

I've even got Cruella Harris as my house rep.

[Dudley_DUright]

OK, JM

You got me beat there. I can't compete with Cruella.

[ornotna]

48. Me too..

Sucks, don't it.
I hate that friggin' cow Harris!

[Best_man23]

71. Jeb

I need not say more.

[matcom]

9. Mitt Romney

he wears funny Jesus Undies

need i say more? x(

[DEM FAN]

10. Mine-JEB BUSH. Nuff Said.

:-( :grr:

[PunkinPi]

15. MD - Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr - R

and he's an asshole. He's increasing tuition, cutting funding and f*cking up our state. (This is his first term and won over D- Kathleen Kennedy Townsend in last year's election). Needless to say I'm very disappointed of my state :(

edit: typo

[Darranar]

45. Agreed completely...

I am another Marylander, and I too am extremely angry at the stupidity of Ehrlich.

[SmileyBoy]

16. A fucking nerd by the name of Tim Pawlenty.

Even the mention of his name causes me to giggle. He''s the "anti-Jesse". Jesse was a former wrestler, a big half-buff, half-fat guy with a shaved head and goatee, a chin cleft and a raspy voice, who was devoted to giving and getting as much PR to the Minnesota governorship and Minnesota in general as possible, and who was socially liberal, supposedly could "kick any other governor's ass", and catered to the "college-to-30" crowd.

Pawlenty, meanwhile is this docile, soft-spoken, puny (physically) guy, has a skinny face (which probably was RIDDLED with acne at adolescence) and conservative haircut, who is EVERYTHING conservative ideologically, has a real weak voice (I can NEVER understand how in the hell he won the election with these attributes), is not interested in any type of national PR, could get his ass kicked by any other governor in the nation, and caters to the "40-to-senior citizen" crowd.

God, I HATE that SOB.

But then again, when I move to North Dakota, I'll have a moderate Republican governor, John Hoeven (he's a little more left than Pawlenty), who's a rancher in his free time, and doesn't seem to be anything of a nerd.

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

17. I feel your pain, northwest...

I live in St. Cloud, and I hate him, too.
Pawlenty's a puke.

[ButterflyBlood]

46. Pawlenty only won because of Penny

originally when all three candidates were running neck and neck Penny was taking votes from Moe and Pawlenty equally, but then Pawlenty began his riduculous promises campaign to win his votes back. He only got like 44%. Very easily beatable in 2006 if the Independence Party stays out of it.

[maxanne]

18. Craig Benson

multi-millionare who essentially bought the job. He promised to run NH like a business. It's evident to us all that he was a ruthless business man. He just vetoed the budget - the state is in fiscal crisis, but he promised no new taxes or fees so the legislature is figuring out exactly how to screw the neediest folk.

Bumperstickers read : Governor Hummer is a Bummer

(ps. - he has a wussy handshake - like a moist dead trout in your hand. Ugh)

[CarlBallard]

20. Locke (D-WA)

He's the first Asian governor on the mainland, but he's been pretty bland. He was able to balence the budget with no tax increases and cuts that weren't too severe (although we didn't do anything about transportation that's awful). Even though he's been governor for 6 years there are more D's lined up against him for the next election thatn R's.

[AntiCoup2K4]

33. In fairness to Gary....

...(and not just because he's my boss) he has turned out to be more conservative than I would have thought, but in a state where the legislature is often split 50-50, the economy is deep in the shitter (though not to CA levels), and you have an asshole named Tim Eyman abusing the voter initiative process to further rape the state budget as much as he can get away with, this unfortunately doesn't leave him able to do too much :(

[SOteric]

47. Yeppers.

And I'd add that finding a $35 million (yes, that's million) dollar error in the school budget cannot have made his struggles to better fund education any easier.

I actually like Gary Locke. I think he's got a difficult job being governor to a state which is so evenly divided in political climate. I'd be happier if he were a bit more left-leaning, but then, I wondere if he wouldn't be were he not hamstrung by a divided consituency.

[Ediacara]

68. Locke confuses me

When he was King County Exec, he was a lot more liberal. In 1996 and 2000, he won by HUGE margins, yet governs like he's afraid of the big bad 36% Republican vote.... If the Republicans had put some strong moderate candidates up, rather than Ellen "I love Jesus, and you'd better too or else" Craswell, or John "I'm a racist fat Limbaugh wannabe that was fired because I suck" Carlson, he might have an excuse for his race to the center...

[SOteric]

73. You're

casually dismissing the effect of Clyde Ballard and the difficulty Locke has had defending allegations that he was the single solitary reason Boeing left town.

And if you think that only 36% of the entirety of the state of Washington would and has voted Republican, you'd be fooling yourself.

[Aristus]

79. I like Gov. Lock personally, and he has a beautiful family (Mona,

oh BABY!), but he IS kinda bland. Tim Eyman's brand of ballot initiative political piracy is awfully hard to fight. If you put up a sign that read: "Get a tax cut. Just stick your head in this guillotine.>" most people would think "Oh goodie! A tax c-----"!SLASH!

22. Brad Henry

Governor of Oklahoma.

AFter Frank Keating he is a breath of fresh air. Unfortunatly Keating left things such a damn mess I don't know if he can help fix the state or not. He pushed for a lottery. We get to vote on it sometime next year I think.

[bluestateguy]

29. I like Brad Henry and hope to see him in the Senate someday

I also thank him for protecting our Texas Democrats during their "vacation" to Oklahoma.

[bif]

23. Jennifer!

Considering the mess that pig Engler left her, she's doing an admirable job so far.

[MadAsHell]

26. Ok I'll bite ....

How unpopular is Wisconsin's Governor and why?

As near as I can tell for the press and opinion polling I've seen Gov. Jim Doyle seems to be holding his own.

[MisterP]

27. Gray Davis;

needs to read some Palast and start throwing some punches.
At least we're not in Idaho with "Fort Boise" and the gov. hiding in a bunker like someone who built a couch-cushion fort!

[otohara]

28. Bill Owens R - CO

very popular, I can't understand why Dems vote for him? He came out last week opposing the Supremos on Affrimative Action. Says he will sign legislation opposing for CO colleges, 2 Pukes have already begun to write the bill.

He is friends w/ Bush - gave away our surplus to the rich. Now we have NO money.

[Samuraimad]

80. what a dick.

he is a jerkoff.
Did you hear about him snubbing the French ambassador?
Whats worse, he has presidential asspirations.

[CO Liberal]

83. Owens Is a Sorry Excuse For a Human Being

I was sorry to hear his mother died the other day, only because she didn't live to see her son's eventual downfall........

[DODI]

30. CT - Rowland

They don't even poll him anymore -- just re-elected and already a lameduck! His dog doesn't even want to be with him -- a Lab, a loyal dog. Today his dog got away and somehow the man who captured the dog got his arm stuck in the dog's mouth -- honest that is how AP reported it. The man is at the hospital -- dog at vet.

[Kat45]

31. Mitt Romney. He sucks,

Yet another repuke governor in what is probably the most Democrat-centric state in the country. Trying to treat running a state like running a corporation.

[King_Crimson]

32. Frank O'Bannon (D-Indiana)...

In second term, not very popular at this time . I fear bad times ahead...Mitch Daniels (Repuke) running in next election.

[salin]

38. an article in todays paper

focused on the very low name recognition of the two dems running (Vi Simpson and Joe Andrews.) While the story was AP - I would guess that it was only carried here as Vi is our state senator. Point being I don't even think the news considers the race terribly important - so stories that might help with name recognition - don't get picked up.

OBannon doesn't seem to be too popular either down here. He isn't viewed as bad as much as nonexistent and rudderless in a period when the state needs leadership. I fear that this perception will hurt in the gubenatorial race.

[BiggJawn]

74. O'Bannon's a clueless Mo-Fo...

Was an OK Lt. Guv, but totally worthless as Governor and I wouldn't cross the street to piss down his throat if his guts were on fire...

and Mitch da Bitch is running (big name-recognition amongst The Faithful) and Vi who?
The recognition problem on the Dem side I lay at the feet (and around the ears) of the Indiana Democratic Committee...those lazy bastards still think Evan's Governor and they don't have to do anything...

35. Jeb Bush...Now guess how I feel about that.

36. Pawlenty

[KamaAina]

37. Even Hawai'i is now suffering under Linda Lingle (R-Car Dealer's Daughter)

Forty freepin' years of Dem tradition down the tubes. All they had to do was buy up pretty much all available TV time in the state so we could hear her bleat about "new beginnings" and the like every five or six minutes. Repukes as such were rarely mentioned, if ever. :puke:

How popular? Too early to tell. The still-Dem legislature just grew a spine and overrode six of her vetoes, of which one would have cut over $3 million from domestic violence, homelessness, and other non-business-friendly programs </sarcasm>. In context: Prior to this only one veto had been overridden since statehood.

She is presently getting hammered by the media for paying to take a TV news* crew along on her trip to Japan (the same one that just broadcast a taped half-hour speech of hers as news*). This is a good thing. Media here has a tendency not to hammer anyone in power, and when they do, it's usually a Dem like Honolulu mayor Jeremy Harris (campaign financing).

A unique cultural institution here is the East-West Center, housed at the main UH campus in Manoa (a Honolulu neighborhood). Lingle just gutted its board, replacing members like former Gov. George Ariyoshi (D), the man who helped to tie our economy to Japan's (seemed like a good idea at the time :-) ), with political hacks like Eddie Flores, who runs a chain of take-out joints, Roland Lagareta, whose wife Kitty runs an R-friendly PR firm, and (I am not making this up) Repuke fundraiser Miriam Hellreich! The combined international experience of all three could fit inside a bottle cap. Hey, Linda, I've got your new beginning right here! :spank:

I suppose, in the scheme of things, she just doesn't measure up to the standards of pure evil set by such as Georgia's Sonny Perdue (R-Confederate flag waver), Minn.'s Tim Pawlenty (R-First Amendment rights on sale now!) or, obviously, Jeb! But still, it really hurts to have this happen here, where I thought we'd be able to make a stand against creeping fascism...

Edit: New beginning. New Begionning placed in the fifth at Belmont :-)

[Jeebo]

39. Bob Holden of Missouri . . .

My governor, Bob Holden, is a first-term Democrat, up for re-election next year. I voted for him, but he's one of those Republican Light Democrats. I held my nose when I voted for him, and I'll hold my nose when I vote for him again next year.

Ron

[electricmonk]

42. Mark Warner(D)

Not sure about his popularity. I like him. He's a bit of a moderate but he was handed a grade A mess from the last 2 repug Governors and since we have a 1 term limit here it's hard to say how much he can actually get straightened out before his term's up. He is trying though.

[iluvchicago86]

43. ROD BLAGOJEVIC (D) ILLINOIS (PLEASE DONT PRONOUNCE THE "S")

He's ok i guess. Not much to say about him as i dont really keep track of what happens statewide. Right now he's trying to fix our pretty abysmal budget crisis. All Illinois is really, is Chicago and its suburbs plus some larger towns around and about. Now if you wanna know whats goin on, take a look at Chi towns mayor. coughmafiacough.





EDIT:SPELLING

[ButterflyBlood]

44. Tim Pawlenty, horrible

described above. Cuts every budget he can get his hands on all so he can keep his promise of not raising taxes even when polls say they'd prefer higher taxes to gutting every social program there is. He's made the Top 10 Conservative Idiots many times for his stupid proposals. Not popular though, and if we can get a 2-way race in 2006, he's toast.

[dodger501]

53. Especially if the Telecom story stays alive

He, Awada, and other Repubs in the statehouse let lobbyists and corps write their own laws and are being paid back in spades.
The conceal carry law is another example.

Pawlenty even collected a paycheck from TelCom while running for freaking governor!

http://www.startribune.com/stories/587/3989848.html

[Lindacooks]

64. Pawlenty is an ass

He cut 50% of the child abuse prevention grants in this state, and my husband lost his job as Director of a women's crisis center as a result. I hate Pawlenty with every fiber of my being. Steve Strachan too, a Repuke rep from Lakeville. Total Nazis.

[leftist_rebel1569]

50. Why is Wisconsin on your list?

Please tell us "The Story"

Gov. Jim Doyle(D) is doing just fine after we finally got rid of 14 years of Repugs Fucking up the state.

(Go to Hell Tommy Thompson(R-Moron), you piece of shit, and the loser you left us with, McCallum(R-Loser)).

The budget is totally screwed and all the repugs want to do is cut services to those who need them and add money for their Repug Agenda. Doyle will be vetoing the Repug budget in a few days or so.

Doyles doing fine, Thank you...

[UrbScotty]

51. I heard through 'the grapevine' that he was unpopular.

Someone told me Doyle was unpopular. That someone must have been wrong!

[RetroLounge]

52. He's VERY unpopular...

with the Repugs out in Waukesha County and other GOPig hell holes around the state.

Sorry if I sounded defensive, but after so many years of Repugs fucking up the state, well, you know...

57. Mark Warner here in VA

he's cleaning up after Allen and Gilmore "tax cuts tt eh rich" :evilgrin: AND he got VA Tech into the ACC. now he has a chance to actually do something about the sorry ass tax code we have here in VA, and the Repukes are too busy trying to destroy each other to stop him :evilgrin:

You can't possibly know the entire story of Gray Davis in CA. This slime-ball has broken every promise he either made or was planning to make. Then, his machine assures the somewhat moderate Repuke candidate, Riordan, from getting the nomination so that we would HAVE to vote for Davis (or just not vote) because Davis gave us the right-wing a-hole Simon as a choice! Oy vey...

[Sirius_on]

76. Granholm so far sounds like a republican

She is cutting everything thats not bolted down. By the end of her term, there wont be anything left to cut. Schools, police, road conditions are about to be history if she keeps it up. From what I hear, the Michigan state troopers association endorsed her and now her name is forbidden to be spoken out loud.

I know the state needs to cut some things, but she is walking on thin ice with some of these cuts. Fiscally, she makes Engler look like a full blown socialist.

[UrbScotty]

81. Huh?

You mentioned that she has to cut certain things, and that's the point! You know, she has hardly any choice but to make these cuts. :-(

[sham]

We fucking LOVE!!!! Ed Rendell here in PA!!

Thank you. :evilgrin:

[LynneSin]

87. Hey, I even drove to PA from DE to help get Rendell elected

But he has the same problem that all these other first term governors have - and that's the mess their predecessors left them.

Ed is no difference. Pennsylvanians will hate him by mid-term but by 2006 he'll be re-elected by a landslide. I would think the same with Jim McGreevey in New Jersey once he can clean up the mess that Whitman left him.

[Kellanved]

84. Berlin: Wowereit

Social Democrat, Gay, very popular and he does quite a good job IMHO.

[noonwitch]

85. Jennifer is great, considering the mess she's having to clean up

How much money did Engler steal from us? Blanchard left office with a rainy day fund and a stable government.

[AlabamaYankee]

86. Bob Riley in Alabama is confusing people

In Congress, Riley was a reliable hard-right tax cutter, and he ran for Governor as a strong fiscal conservative who would bring accountability to Alabama. Once he got into office he found out the state is basically broke, with an antiquated tax and fiscal structure. Basically he could cut and account as much as he wanted and there would still be way too little money to fund basic services, even at Alabama levels. He put together a comprehensive "tax reform and accountability" package, forced it through the legislature with bipartisan votes, and it goes before th voters in September for approval.

As a friend of mine put it, this is the most Democratic package that has ever been put together in this state. The Christian Coalition and power brokers are aghast and feling betrayed, and I, along with other progressives, am working to get it passed.

In spite of that there will sdtill be plenty of reasons to oppose him in 2006.

[LynneSin]

88. Ruth Ann Minner here in Delaware

She was Tom Carper's Lt. Governor and she's up for re-election in 2004.

Does she have issues? Of course! The budget is bad, but we're getting hurt like everyone else is with the Education and Homeland Security bills. But somehow they managed to pass a balanced budget with only a minimum of tax increases (sin tax stuff) but not adding any overall sales tax to our state.

Smokers hate her because she signed into the law the ban on public smoking. But I'm finding most smokers adapting and many restaurants providing heated decks & patios to accomadate their smokers.

Religious numnuts are peeved she allowed enacted Sunday Sales for alcohol (GASP) and feel the entire state and all us First Staters will probably wind up in hell just cause we no longer have to drive to Maryland on Sunday to buy a six-pack of beer

Motiva is a chemical disaster, she's trying.

I've signed up for her re-election. Strongest candidate Republicans could find to run against her is Attorney General Jane Brady who swore up-n-down she wasn't going to run for another office if she got re-elected as Attorney General. That was 2002 and it's a 4 year office. Only other well-known republican would be Mike Castle, but he's actually an ex-governor (before Carper, who was a US representative while Castle was governor, but they swapped offices in 1992).

I'll vote for Ruth! I like the gal! Then again, I had Tom Ridge for 6 years and you can see just how bland & dumb that guy is!

[CBHagman]

89. I'd like to feed Robert Ehrlich (R-MD) to the crabs

After all, here in Maryland, crabs at least serve a purpose, which is more than I can say for Ehrlich.

90. KKK-lite David Duke pal Mike Foster in Louisiana, ugh!!!

Fortunately, he'll be gone soon.

This totally worthless human being whose highest dream and achievement was to rescind the motorcycle helmet laws won't be missed...

He couldn't even get FEMA to declare Tropical Storm Bill a federal disaster and qualify us for disaster aid, and an awful lot of homes were destroyed in my area. His good friend Mr. Bush just wasn't available to return his phone calls while so many of us were going without power or, in some cases, a place to stay.
