Nixon is actually not a bad guy, for a Democrat anyway, and everyone knows Gregoire is a trainwreck.  I'm not familiar with the rest of them.

Unless they border the Atlantic or Pacific oceans, or Lake Michigan, Lord Zero isn't interested in the 'Outer Rim' Governors and what they might have to say.

Yeah it's not like there's a big concern about terrorist crossing our porous land borders, and maybe bering a couple of nukes or dirty bombs in with them.
