Cook Political Moves Five Gov. Races Toward GOP, Three Toward Democrats

The Cook Political Report made ratings changes in eight gubernatorial races. Here is a breakdown.

Toward The GOP:

Texas Governor -- Toss Up to Lean R: GOP Gov. Rick Perry has successfully turned back a very competitive challenge from former Houston Mayor Bill White.

Georgia Governor -- Toss Up to Lean R: Despite carrying some heavy ethical baggage, former GOP Rep. Nathan Deal appears well-positioned to defeat former Democratic Gov. Roy Barnes. The question is whether Deal can get the 50 percent of the vote needed to avoid a run-off.

Wisconsin Governor -- Toss Up to Lean R: Aided by the political environment and an aggressive campaign, Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker (R) has opened up a lead in the high single digits over Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett (D).

New Mexico Governor -- Toss Up to Lean R: While Democratic Lt. Gov. Diane Denish has run a solid campaign against Dona Ana County District Attorney Susana Martinez (R), she has had to fight against the political environment and her role as outgoing Gov. Bill Richardson's (D) second in command. Martinez is poised to become the state's first woman governor.

South Dakota Governor -- Likely R to Solid R: Nothing to see here. Republican Lt. Gov. Dennis Daugaard will win big.

Toward Democrats:

Maryland Governor -- Toss Up to Lean D: Democratic Gov. Martin O'Malley has opened up a lead over former GOP Gov. Bob Ehrlich, and seems assured of a second term.

New Hampshire GOvernor -- Toss Up to Lean D: Democratic Gov. John Lynch appears likely to avoid being a casualty of the Republican wave and will win an unprecedented fourth term.

Iowa Governor -- Likely R to Lean R: Polls show this race have closed. Former GOP Gov. Terry Branstad remains a clear favorite to unseat Democratic Gov. Chet Culver, but the outcome may be closer than many expect.

The latest polls show Texas Gov Perry has a commanding lead over the Democrat White. I don't like either of them and don't plan to vote on that race. Our 2 Senators are also GOP. But you can bet your ass I'll be in that voting booth helping get rid of all the Dem congresspeople!

You go reddirtgirl! Dems are going down all over the place. As we've seen the failures of the BO administration are being cited as the primary reason for voter dissatisfaction with the Dems, and rightly so. But, the party needs to know that a significant number of Americans are voting against the Dems because of the many injustices, rampant corruption, and outright destruction of democracy the DNC and Obama perpetrated in 2008.

Who are your congresspeople, reddirtgirl. If you are in Ciro Rodriguez's district, remember Rodriguez was a staunch Hillary supporter. If you are in Chet Edwards' district though, an Obama lackey, sock it to him! biggrin
