Here are the results of our Worst Republican Governor Poll<\/strong>.  Politics Plus Polls are not scientific, because those who respond are not balanced according to demographic categories.   Therefore, we do not accurately reflect the makeup of the US population.  Nevertheless, our polls are often both accurate and indicative of the nation\u2019s view.

Shame – SHAME – on you, TC, for not including an "ALL THE ABOVE"<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/p>\n

I went with Perry – NOT because I think he’s actually the worse, but because his "worseness" impacts more Americans than any of the others.<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/p>\n

PS – You know what I don’t hear about anymore from the MSM? The vaunted "BENCH" of potential presidential candidates the MSM pundits kept telling us the Rethuglicans had.<\/font><\/p>\n

5 governors are up for re-election in 2014: Deal (GA), Scott (FL), Snyder (MI), Fallin (OK), Walker (WI). 3 are Presidential hopefuls: Perry (TX), Walker (WI), Christie (NJ). more info: <\/font>www.citizensforethics.org\/worst-governors-in-america<\/font><\/a><\/p>\n

It was a hard decision but I had to go with Rick Scott of Florida. My reasons are varied. Besides all the stupid voter suppression laws and taking money from education and social programs, he stole money from his state’s own Medicaid system and Medicare. He’s a vile man.<\/font><\/p>\n

It was such a close call but I had to pick Perry because of his war against education, his war against abortion clinics, and "OOPS<\/font><\/p>\n

I had to go with other, because it isn’t possible to pick just one of those fools. They are just clones, each trying to outdo the other. And as they are all 2010 teapublicans, I am most interested in seeing most of them sent back to the swamps they crawled out of in November.<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/p>\n

All of the above plus a few others. Susanna Martinez comes to mind. Even my own "Democratic" Governor, while good on other issues, wants to frack the whole state. Isn’t it sad when the best you can say about your Governor is he (or she) could be worse? <\/font><\/p>\n

While I have not voted, as yet, for the worst governor, will there be a "prize" given for the worst governor to that "governor" after all the votes are in and counted…?<\/font><\/p>\n

I would vote for Tom Corbett as the worst just because he’s mine, although I know there are really worse ones and the whole lot is dreadful. <\/font><\/p>\n

I think all governors with an R after their name are "the worst" for their citizens…..still cannot fathom why anyone votes for them…<\/font><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It seems that we have a lot of people from Texas and Florida.  In addition, I unintentionally influenced the results, because I posted a couple articles featuring the Fartfuhrer of Fitzwalkerstan, Scott Walker.  The reason I did not include All of the Above<\/em> is that it\u2019s too easy an answer to pick without really thinking about it.  My intent for this poll was to stimulate thought about all these horrid Republicans and thereby create an awareness of the importance of flushing Republicans from state and local offices as well as federal.<\/font><\/p>\n

I voted for Chris Christie, aka PIGnocchio.  With him, I see all the things that are individually wrong with the other governors combined in one obnoxious package.<\/font><\/p>\n
