Here are the results of our Worst Republican Governor Poll. 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’s view. However this does not appear to be one of those times.
And here are your comments:

I finally decided on Chris Christie (NJ). lol.

Shame – SHAME – on you, TC, for not including an "ALL THE ABOVE"
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.
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.
Gee … I wonder why?

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.

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
" you know all the other things he has or has not done.

TomCat,
You just know that people must vote for their own worthless governor. I sure did.

Go Ricky go.

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.

Mitch Daniels

I picked Walker..just hear more about him.
But worst "Democratic" Governor is Pat Quinn! He’s setting the RepubliCONs up for an easy victory..:(
Posted by Rixar13 May 4, 2014 at 7:33 am.
More than one… Three comes to mind.
Rick Scott (R-FL)
Chris Christie (R-NJ)
Scott Walker (R-WI)

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?
Posted by TomCat May 3, 2014 at 9:41 pm.
Come on peeps! All was not included for a reason.
Posted by Lynn Squance May 3, 2014 at 2:25 pm.
Seems that there are a number of us with like minds — other. They are ALL dreadful in their own ways and not worthy of the appellation "human being"! What do you expect, they’re Republicans!

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…?
Posted by Jerry Critter May 3, 2014 at 9:31 am.
Other = All Of The Above
Posted by Terrie C. Williams May 3, 2014 at 8:54 am.
ALL of the above.
Posted by Wayne W May 3, 2014 at 7:23 am.
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.

I think all governors with an R after their name are "the worst" for their citizens…..still cannot fathom why anyone votes for them…

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 is that it’s 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.
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.
There is a new poll available not. Please vote here, and on (or before) November 4 where you live.

I did not find the poll easy. Before I cast my vote for all, I actually thought about each one and the shenanigans that each participated in that I could remember. It seemed that each one was the worst in their own way. They all make want to hurl, almost as much as the Rt disHonourable Prime Minister Stephen Harper of Canada.
I'm just a bit disappointed that Perry came in second with "other". There are three governors that deserve first place, Walker, Perry and….Oops, I forgot. Oh yeah, Other it was other.
Oh, come on, the days are long gone when Huey Long was a lone poster child (and even HE had some redeeming accomplishments, believe it or not.) Whe the Cirizens for Reponsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) put together a list of the worst governors, even they couldn't get the number of the worst below six (of whom one is thankfully gone), whom they called the "Ringmasters," the other twelve candidates being divided into "Clowns" and "Sideshows."
Thanks TC.
"I did not find the poll easy at all." My final decision boiled down to a presidential hopeful. Christie is a bully and a liar, always blaming someone else. Perry has already been rejected. Walker is a blatant and outright Koch bought politician. Those were my final three from the list of the distinction of being the worst governor per TC's list of candidates.

New scandal snags Christie, Mass. GOP hopeful
Pando Daily’s David Sirota talks with Rachel Maddow about a donation from a Massachusetts GOP gubernatorial candidate to Chris Christie’s state party, and an investment made by NJ in that person’s business interests – an apparent violation.

Christie-Brand Leadership: Always blame everyone else

The New Jersey governor's troubles continue to pile up. Christie, instead of taking responsibility, is finding new ways to point fingers. read story

While Chris Christie is not listed in CREW's list of worst governors, the news is breaking now rather than in the distant past of more than a year of history, Chris is breaking NOW in the very present, news of recent and potential scandals.
Wheeling and dealing. "Corruption Fatigue". lol.

Christie still thinks he has a chance if he decides to run for the Presidency. He thinks the scandals haven't hurt him.
Thanks all. Overslept. "3 way tie" would have worked. 🙂
I know I am biased but living in Florida, the worst in my perception is Medicare Thief Governor Rick Scott.. 😈
