FUCK NO

I wouldn't respect Rick Perry even if he cleaned the dog shit out of my backyard.

what we have

but what we've elected three times in a row (or rather 5 times in a row if you count that other guy.)

he was a presidential candidate. It's just hard to believe some keep voting him in over and over again. I just don't get it ...

Yeah, there are pockets of liberalism and progressivism in Texas, but the vast majority is not. I'm Texan, born and raised, and I have no problems with deriding Texas for what it is.

Glad we got him back. As he says, he knows where the bodies are buried!

We live in Brownbackistan here.

and how some mentioned that brownback wants to take Kansas back to the 1950's

He is one regressive governor.

Why would anyone respect him? Tom Corbett doesn't respect himself.

Need Hell NO! button. PRONTO!

Mr. F*ck Education but you can't tax natural gas?!
As AG he was very involved in covering up the Sandusky scandal and sooner or later he's going down.

Welcome to DU!

Wish we could recall him.

So that would be a negative

either.

I don't respect him as a man or a governor.

And his momma was a liar.

Guess what, he was WRONG. Rumor is, now he's going to back track because he saw how much studio and production money FLED Michigan.

What a dink.

Hard to believe but he's worse than Engler.

It's like being managed by Faux news 24/7. He had the Obama" American Reinvestment" signs removed from every project the first week in office. He is a clone of scott walker.

He seriously disappointed me when he was our Senator. But he has more than redeemed himself as governor. This is clearly the role he was born to fulfill and he is doing a magnificent job.

sorry - just kind of snuck up on me

I don't know how I could respect someone who makes me reconsider my strong disdain for the word "c*nt"? She is the very definition of the word:



...2.Disparaging and Offensive .
a.
a woman.
b.
a contemptible person.

I respect a lot of what he does and his positions, such as single payer healthcare and that healthcare is a right and not a privilege.

He makes me miss Sarah.

awesome! although he runs from bears

and the fate of Wisconsin. The GOPers have the legislature. Dayton has been busy vetoing their crazy shit.

Hopefully this fall we can get rid of the loonies in the legislature: all repukes.

she's Bev Perdue in NC. i voted yes.

hear of outrageous things about him.

No

She decided not to run for another term. The economic troubles in WA, like many states, were difficult to address.

I think she became disillusioned when she asked for a tax hike for pop and candy and the voters turned it down after everyone complained about wanting the same service--but apparently did not want to pay for them.

The stimulus helped WA until the Republicans successfully nixed money to states. (In their effort to gain back the power they lost when they stole our treasury and distracted us by sending our middle class to war--but I digress).

Rob McKenna, the current republican attorney general is running against Democrat Jay Inslee.

You may recall that McKenna is one who joined with other right-wing governors to file suit against the health reform law. Gregoire was pissed...the issue went to the state supreme court, with Gregoire arguing that McKenna is the state's attorney and, like any attorney, cannot simply file suits on behalf of a client without the client's permission. McKenna actually won that legal battle.

The election is close with both currently nearly tied.

Our governor Steve Beshear....in his second term and has done an excellent job.

Hangs head in shame for the Kentucky senators...promise I worked hard against these idiots.

hope to respect the next Democratic governor of this state. If it is the R - then I won't.

how ibn the fuck could Iowans elect this misanthrope again?

Not gov "go to hell" paul lepage!

PEACE!

He doesn't give a goddamn what people say about him. He's been there done that and ame back to do his damnedest to try and fix California. Go Brown.

You've got to be kidding. HELL. NO.

I respect Sutter for that matter as well.....

I live in New York so it isn't hard to do. Governor Cuomo is doing a good job.

My governor was a C/D student at an agricultural university pursuing a degree in animal husbandry. He makes Bush look like the smart governor of Texas.

carry the water for the Repubs. And Michael Steele gets his ass handed to himself everytime he is on MSNBC

O'Malley 2016!

Oh, hell no.

Braindead is only marginally less evil than others and then only by comparison to Walker up in WI.

I am happy to have a strong, liberal Dem who is pro city as the governor of our state. AFter all those years of corrupt Republicans we need a strong, decent guy like Dannel Malloy...

television this morning and basically shrugged his shoulders when asked about stronger gun laws. So no. I don't.

an excellent job.

Butch Otter got his start in politics by marrying the daughter of J.R. Simplot, who was as close to a self-made millionaire as you're gonna get: he invented the frozen french fry and started a company to make them. (This is Idaho. Root vegetables are kind of a big deal here.)

yes INDEED

I am from Minnesota and our Governor Mark Dayton has to be one of the best governors in the nation. I don't always agree with him, but I know from personal experience he has a really big heart. One of my friends worked on his campaign and just three days before the primary election a drunk driver hit her car head on and both her and her boyfriend at the time were very seriously injured. Mark Dayton was up at the hospital for hours to be by her family's side despite the fact that it was a crucial point in the campaign. He did not try to make a campaign issue out of the help he was giving her family, he could have exploited the situation for votes but he chose not to. Instead he very quietly gave the family enormous support even though it was an extremely busy and crucial moment in the campaign he chose to support my friends in their most difficult time, for that he will always have my respect and support.

No comment...

2016!

I have been a supporter of Governor Jerry Brown for decades.

I do not agree nor understand some of his policy and action this term as Governor.

I wish he had been POTUS a generation ago when there were more options for the future.

Hell no.

And I'm reasonably happy with him. Especially since he signed the bill for equal marriage, that took some guts in a place with a lot of nominal cafeteria Catholics.

Culver and Vilsack before him weren't perfect, but a damn sight better than Walker-lite Branstad. Had enough of him before, yuck! Our state workers are bleeding the state dry doncha know , but double-dipper there is justly rewarded (collects pension for his previous term AND salary for this term).

Joe Manchin, a cowardly bastard wholly owned by the extraction industries (coal, oil, and gas).

for Florida, sorry....

Illegally elected (thank you voting machines), criminal (pleaded the fifth), full of shit. thief, dishonest, asshole- need I say more?

Given that the streets are running with blood and the state is burning down around him, he's done a pretty good job, I think.

Yes, I actually currently respect my Governor.

He's doing about the best he can in a state that cannot get its act together. We'll see what happens in the upcoming election.
