Majority of Governors in January 2011 Will be Newbies

[rpannier]

There are 37 gubernatorial races on the ballot this November, including 23 open seats. With North Dakota's governor, John Hoeven (R), a shoo-in for the Senate and Nevada's multiscandal governor. Jim Gibbons (R), a shoo-in for the dustbin of history, that is a sure 25 new faces in the governor's mansions. That's half the states right there. It would take only one loss by an incumbent to make the majority of governors new. Potentially vulnerable incumbents include Chet Culver (D-IA), Jan Brewer (R-AZ), Ted Strickland (D-OH), and Rick Perry (R-TX) among others. Larry Sabato has more on these races. Also note the link to "Governors races" on the menu below the map above. That page is frequently updated, often without mention on the front page.
