New Print Edition: Gubernatorial Outlook
The March 12, 2010 print edition of the Rothenberg Political Report is on its way to subscribers. Here is a brief excerpt from this edition:
2010 Gubernatorial Outlook
While the national media focuses on the fight for control of Congress, there is plenty of action in this year’s gubernatorial contests. Four out of every five Americans will vote for governor this fall in 37 of the 50 states. While Democrats and Republicans want to win as many governorships as possible, a majority isn't worth more than a press release, and both sides are gunning for the big prizes such as California, Texas, Florida, New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.
Currently, 23 of the 37 races are open and have no sitting governor running in them, and by the time primaries play out in Arizona and Nevada, that number is likely to increase to 25 open races. Both parties are trying to reclaim states that are "theirs" based on normal partisan voting patterns and be in position for redistricting following the census. Third Party candidates not only have the potential to impact races in Minnesota and Vermont, but a legitimate path to victory in Rhode Island, Maine, and Massachusetts.
Subscribers to the print edition get a state-by-state analysis as well as recent polling in each race.
The print edition of the Report comes out every two weeks. Subscribers get in-depth analysis of the most competitive races in the country, as well as updated House and Senate ratings, and coverage of the gubernatorial races.
