Feb 2013

one runs to be a governor before a U.S. senator, not the other way around. More often than not, U.S. senators don't run for governor unless there's a compelling reason, like Ted Strickland running against John Kasich.

It's usually Governor---> U.S. Senate

or

Governor----> President

not

U.S. Senator----> Governor
