Governor Rankings: November 2008
http://governorrankings.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 1, 2008. Final gubernatorial ratings: Two races left to watch. Gubernatorial races were never going to be the hottest item of the 2008 cycle, but for a while we at least had four highly competitive races to follow. No longer: Democrat Jay Nixon and Republican Mitch Daniels have gained a decisive edge in Missouri and Indiana and they should coast in their respective governor's mansion with ease. That leaves us with two toss-up gubernatorial races - but what toss-ups they are! That she h...

Governor Rankings: December 2007
http://governorrankings.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 1, 2007. December rankings: Not much to see in gubernatorial races. The two most vulnerable seats in my last rankings (Louisiana and Kentucky) were 2007 elections - and both states saw pick-ups, as Jindal became the new GOP Governor of Louisiana and Democrat Beshear defeat incumbent Fletcher in Kentucky. Meanwhile Mississippi, rated "safe" in September, voted to re-elect Governor Haley Barbour. 1 Missouri (Gov. Blunt). 2 Indiana (Gov. Daniels). Governor Daniels quickly became very unpo...

The Accountability Project: Pro-McCain '08 Means Pro-Escalation in Iraq
http://theaccountabilityproject.blogspot.com/2007/02/pro-mccain-08-means-pro-escalation-in.html
Monday, February 26, 2007. Pro-McCain '08 Means Pro-Escalation in Iraq. Over at Senate2008Guru's blog. Is a nice piece. On an important point regarding the vulnerable '08 Senate Republicans trying to distance themselves from Bush/Iraq. Namely, there is no way these GOP Senators can support John McCain for President and also lay claim to the anti-escalation position:. Iraq is the number one issue. As Guru notes, Collins and Warner have both already made explicit endorsements. As for the other 3, at le...

Governor Rankings: March 2008
http://governorrankings.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 30, 2008. March Rankings: Top four races get more interesting. Presidential years are not the most active in terms of gubernatorial races, and 2008 is no exception, with only 11 states holding elections, only 5 of which are not entirely safe for the incumbent party. But there has been some movement within those five races, as many of them have gotten considerably (and unexpectedly) more competitive in the past few months. Toss-up (2 R, 1 D). His retirement in late January. Republicans hurri...

The Accountability Project: Accountability 2008
http://theaccountabilityproject.blogspot.com/2007/02/accountability-2008.html
Monday, February 12, 2007. The 2008 US Senate playing field may allow Democrats to expand on the narrow majority won in the monumental 2006 elections. As Democrats attempt to build an expanded, lasting majority, we'll attempt to hone in on the records of vulnerable GOP Senators - many of whom will spend their time between now and November 2008 trying to run from those records and their past support for Bush and the Republican leadership.
