Democrats Seem Poised to Pick Up a Few Governor’s Seats.
Many of the governor’s races remain exceedingly close, according to the latest round of data from The New York Times/CBS News/YouGov online panel of nearly 100,000 respondents.
The data shows that there are 11 contests within 4 percentage points; another half-dozen races are within 10 percentage points.
On balance, Democrats seem set to pick up two or three states, mainly because the Republicans enter the elections with twice as many Republican-held seats. But it is easy to imagine the Republicans holding their advantage — there are 29 Republican governors and 21 Democratic ones — or the Democrats picking up a half-dozen seats.
The list of competitive governors’ races spans the spectrum of American politics: Republican incumbents fighting for re-election in red states; Democratic governors in close races in blue states; and classic matchups in the presidential battlegrounds.

7. 7???? I wish
We are guaranteed Pennsylvania. The other 6 is depending on turn out. If we win the other 6 then we keep the Senate. I tell you. I like the way you think. Glad you are here.
^^^another fan of the darryl primitive.

2. The Senate will make more headlines, but this will be critical for 2016
and I hope. that key states have Democratic Gov for the period after the next Census. We can't afford more of this bullshit with the House.

4. John Gotti Christie said
Rethugs need to control the governorships in order to control the voting process.
Governorships are essential to securing a win in 2016.

9. I think we will pick up quite a few and hold the current ones
California Governor Jerry Brown and Oregon Governor John Kitzhaber will both be elected to their fourth terms.

As Tuesday approaches watch for more and more "someone please tell me we are going to win!!!" pleading.

In my state Pennsylvania, the republican has not put forth any kind of message. Instead he just says the "democrat is going to raise taxes". Is that a news flash ? Really ????
He should have said the democrat; "Wolfe is a carbon copy of Obama", with examples..........but........
I guess we'll get a "mini-me Obama". :thatsright:

It sounded like Christie and the Gov association were dumping Walker like they dumped the Virginia republican Gov candidate.
Scott Walker to Chris Christie: Thanks for nothing

Correct me if I'm wrong, but what does the Governor have to do with redistricting? That's the state legislature's job.
