Think that the 2010 Republican gubernatorial nominee would have an easy road to the governor’s mansion? You wouldn’t be the only one. It turns out, though, that road may be a lot tougher than originally believed.
According to a poll by Public Policy Polling (a Democratic firm out of North Carolina), things may not be so rosy for the GOP. Behold, ye mighty, and despair:
Jim Rex – 36 percent
Gresham Barrett – 31 percent
(Democrat +5)Gresham Barrett – 40 percent
Inez Tenenbaum – 39 percent
(Republican +1)Henry McMaster – 36 percent
Jim Rex – 36 percent
(Even Steven)Henry McMaster – 39 percent
Inez Tenenbaum – 39 percent
(Even Steven)
So, there you go. Of course, those polls don’t include Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer, so God only knows what curve balls he’d throw into the situation.
This much is known, though: Republicans in this state need to get their game together for 2010, because even as shitty as the Democrats are at campaigning and winning votes, the electorate is looking for a change.
