How would you rate your state's governor?

[ZombieNixon]

Poll question: How would you rate your state's governor?

Mine's Bill Richardson. I'd give him a B-. Pretty good, but not great.

[Dr.Phool]

1. One word

JEB

[ZombieNixon]

6. Ouch.

I'm sorry. Do you think he's the worst governor in the country?

[retread]

35. Neck and neck with Mississippi.

*

[DireStrike]

16. When is he up for reSelection? And how is BBV work going down there?

Any chance of him losing the race?

[clydefrand]

27. Like his brother...his time is up when his term is over.

[cureautismnow]

55. Two Words.

Jeb-boy.

[ultraist]

2. NC (D) Governor Easley: A-

[William Bloode]

31. Yup,

'Ol Eazy E. aint to bad. He's had alot of tuff decisions to make here in N.C., and i think he has handled most fairly well. A- for Governor Mike Easley.

[WI_DEM]

3. Jim Doyle

I gave him a C+--there has really been nothing to get very excited about.

[Erding]

4. Granholm rocks!

Granholm rocks! I give her an A-.

[SharonRB]

[newyawker99]

43. Hi Erding!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[knitter4democracy]

46. Me three!

Gotta love her! She's not totally perfect, but who is? I'm planning on working for her re-election campaign as much as possible to help her win Calhoun county (where we're moving this spring from Kalamazoo).

[Freebird12004]

63. Welcome to DU

B-) says :hi:

[hiley]

5. huckabee

at our house we call the preacher huckabee Suckabee

[indianablue]

7. Indiana: My Man Mitch

A Bush kiss ass of the worse proportion.

[spunky]

8. Haley Barbour. Associated with the racist CCC. thats even worse

than a normal Republican F. :puke: :puke:

[merwin]

9. WA - We've got Gregoire. I give her an A++++ just to piss Rossi off :-)

[uppityperson]

54. Gregoire, A. Rossi, get over it.

Move on. Take a break. Take a nap. Take a vacation. Take a hike. Go away. Thanks Ms. Gregoire for keeping the health care for poor people going.

[geniph]

56. Also Gregoire. However, I've only given her a B+

because I'm still mad at her for running such a limp campaign that she nearly lost to that useless sack of shit Rossi.

[uppityperson]

58. There is that.

[Kire]

10. Codey's my hero.

Irate Codey blasts radio shock jock
Post-partum remarks spur clash
Wednesday, January 26, 2005
BY JOSH MARGOLIN AND DEBORAH HOWLETT
Star-Ledger Staff

In a heated, face-to-face confrontation, acting Gov. Richard Codey and a radio personality clashed last night over comments the shock jock made about first lady Mary Jo Codey's well-publicized battle with postpartum depression.

"I wish I weren't governor, I'd take you out," Codey said to NJ 101.5 radio host Craig Carton in a hallway at the station's studios.

Coming nearly nose to nose with Codey, Carton responded: "That's real professional. You want to fight?"

With the pair shouting at each other, members of Codey's security detail began moving in, though they did not step between the two. Carton then left the station, saying he had an appointment to keep.

[ronnykmarshall]

11. Arnold

F- !!

[CityZen-X]

39. Awnold!

The governor of Caleefonia. Who shall be known as the 1-Terminator!

[Sweet Freedom]

12. Governor (less than F) Goodhair. /nt

[ZombieNixon]

18. You and Dr.Phool need to discuss this:

Who is worse: Jeb or Perry?

[Zenlitened]

13. Other: A complete non-entity.

Mitt Romney of Massachusetts. It's as if we don't even have a governor at all.

[dhinojosa]

14. Mine's Bill Richardson too.....I wonder if we live in the same state?

hahahah. Anyways I gave him an A-. I wanted the recount, but I still gave him an A for bringing in the X prize and making New Mexico Hollywood II.

[ZombieNixon]

25. No, I live in that state that has the other Bill Richardson for governor!

;)

I've always found him to be a bit of a power tripper, though doubtless I'm influenced by the hateful bastards who swarm around here in Republican Hell (San Juan County). I've met him and found him, personally, to be very nice, even if we don't see eye to eye on everything. Still, better him than John Sanchez.

OTOH, have any movie crews found their way here yet?

[dhinojosa]

29. He is power tripper.

But I do get a kick when he is called in to settle international disputes.

[ZombieNixon]

30. Given that many people think New Mexico is part of (Old) Mexico,

that's not a surprise.

[jandrok]

15. Slick Rick gets the lowest score......

[Anarcho-Socialist]

17. Matt Blunt (R-MO) Rated a Republican F

He's been in power a month and he's already cutting people from medical programs: a death sentence to many living with AIDS. Although I'm not surprised anymore, this is what Republicans enjoy doing when they get elected and it's the same all over the place.

[loudestchick]

45. Blunt is also cutting funding for First Steps--a program that provides

early intervention for children w/ physical or learning disabilities. He sucks.

[Stop_the_War]

19. I have the worst possible governor, Jeb Bush gets a Republican F !!!!!!!!!

[LostInAnomie]

20. IN - Mitch "The Bitch" Daniels

I'm loving that he is getting fucked over by budget issues since he was one of *'s economic advisers. The best part is that to help pay for the budget shortfall he wants to raise taxes on people making more than 100k, and the repukes are pissed.

[vikegirl]

21. "Family Man" Bill Owens.

Need I say more? *gags*

[librechik]

38. double gag

can it be worse than this? Oh, in the 20s. the Governor was actually KKK. We don't know yet if Bill wears a wizard suit.

[Coastie for Truth]

22. Big Republlican F for the Boobengropper

Arnold S

[troubleinwinter]

23. Surely you jest. The Gropenator (wannabe future Gropenfuhrer).

[latteromden]

24. MN - Pawlenty. Saying I'm not a fan is such an understatement.

I can't give him more than an F (a Republican F, at that) for what he's done with education and public transportation (read: NOTHING).

[demjuli]

33. Don't forget his coinage of the term "healthcare welfare"

and selling his soul to the taxpayers league.

[newyawker99]

44. Hi demjuli!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[demjuli]

60. Hi newyawker99!

It's great to be here!:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[Freebird12004]

64. Hi Ya !

hey "demjuli" :hi: welcome to DU

[Burma Jones]

26. Maryland - Ehrlich - Giant Sleazeball

With a Moe Howard haircut to boot....................

[MissWaverly]

41. I am also from Maryland

I was not impressed with Gov. Ehrlich blacklisting 2 Baltimore Sun reporters, and he just doesn't seem like a problem solver, I still can't figure out why we don't have slots by now, especially when we need the money so desperately here in Baltimore City for education.

Miss Waverly

[juslikagrzly]

28. Oklahoma's Dem Gov

gets an A-. He generally flies under the radar, but he's gotten some of his campaign initiatives actually passed into law (lottery) and is now pushing the Higher Ed bill.

Ain't that ironic----a deep red state with a Dem governor. Maybe we're not all married to our cousins :)

[Tess49]

36. I like him , too. Great grassroots campaign.

[Sinistrous]

32. Rendell (PA): Good Democrat, but he has to play ball with

a retroglican legislature.

[MattG]

37. Another NC boy here

I give Easley a B/B- he's pretty good but not as good as Hunt was.

I can kind of take Democratic Governors for granted and not just give them an A because they beat a Repub. Our states only had two Republican Governors since Reconstruction


YAY NORTH CAROLINA!!!

[greendog]

40. Schweitzer

Ask me in a couple years. So far so good.

[WoodrowFan]

42. Virginia-Warner

Not bad, considering the loonie-tunes Legislature we have, and a RW repuk Atty General.

[Speed8098]

47. Pataki

Guess how I voted :thumbsdown:

[Piperay]

48. I live in CA ...

nuff said. x(

[MrSlayer]

49. I give Rendell a C+, he is handcuffed with a Republican congress.

He can't really do much.

[Haymare22]

50. Bill Owens, CO watch out.....

'they' are grooming this pasty face turd big time, he's a creeper sneaker....

[Mend]

51. eFF'ing Jeb, the bush whose wife did not murder her boyfriend but

is a smuggler.....

[KamaAina]

52. C minus. Congratulations, Lingle. That puts you at the *top*...

...of the repuke pledge class. </dean-wormer>

Of course, it may be that her repuke yearnings (i.e. vice chair at the NYC repuke-a-thon) have merely been stifled by the very, v ery Dem legislature.

[KamaAina]

53. Shouldn't the repuke F be..... a W?

in many colleges, including Yale, the W stands for Withdrawn and is listed below the F (and the I for Incomplete).

[Mz Pip]

57. Ahnold gets a D

The only reason I didn't fail him is because he signed domestic partner legisilation that put Lou Sheldon from the Traditional Values Coalition into a total tizzy. Ahnold gets to pass for that.

Mz Pip
:dem:

[Cuban_Liberal]

59. Blagoevich (D-IL): A-/B+

He's improving, as he gets the hang of the job.

:)

[paineinthearse]

62. Massachusetts - Mitt Romney. Hey Utah, you want him back? n/t

[Freebird12004]

65. he wasn't the one that I voted for

:thumbsdown:

[in_cog_ni_to]

66. Rod Blagojevich IL...A/A- and only because he aired his dirty laundry

in public on his Father-in-Law. That put his wife in an embarrassing situation. The FIL was part owner in a landfill where a cousin of Blagojevich was supposedly allowing illegal dumping. The Governor shut down the landfill :7...which was a GOOD thing, but I felt sorry for his wife. That's why he gets an A A-. Otherwise he's been GREAT!

on edit...Rod's FIL is responsible for getting him into politics. Now, they hate each other. ;) Just a little Illinois politics. ;)
