The Future Governors Slate

Last time I noted the two governor's races that will be decided this November. Even though it's more than a year away, I thought I'd list the governorships that would be up in 2010, since the candicacy of Gov. Paterson (D-NY) has been in the news lately.

States where the governor is seeking relection:
New Hampshire - John Lynch (D)
Massachusetts - Deval Patrick (D)
Connecticut - Jodi Rell (R)
New York - David Paterson (D)
Maryland - Martin O'Malley (D)
Ohio - Ted Strickland (D)
Illinois - Pat Quinn (D)
Arkansas - Mike Beebe (D)
Iowa - Chet Culver (D)
Nebraska - Dave Heineman (R)
Texas - Rick Perry (R)
Colorado - Bill Ritter (D)
Idaho - Butch Otter (R)
Utah - Gary Herbert (R) (special election)
Nevada - Jim Gibbons (R)
Arizona - Jan Brewer (R)
Alaska - Sean Parnell (R)

States with an open race:
Maine - currently Democratic
Vermont - currently Republican
Rhode Island - currently Republican
Pennsylvania - currently Democratic
South Carolina - currently Republican
Georgia - currently Republican
Alabama - currently Republican
Florida - currently Republican
Tennessee - currently Democratic
Michigan - currently Democratic
Wisconsin - currently Democratic
Minnesota - currently Republican
South Dakota - currently Republican
Kansas - currently Democratic
Oklahoma - currently Democratic
New Mexico - currently Democratic
Wyoming - currently Democratic
Oregon - currently Democratic
California - currently Republican
Hawaii - currently Republican

Obviously it's way too early to speculate about anything now, but this is what will be on the docket. Plus, we'll have the senate races to look forward to as well. Should be fun.
