She is not a very attactive candidate though. Has anyone made the jump from Treasurer to Gov. before? That seems a long way to jump up the ballot. Hubbard doesn't have much name ID outside the party. I presume he would have plenty of money. He kind of reminds me of Luther, prior to 06. I think Beth Shepherd is an attractive candidate who is well spoken and knows how to push all the right buttons. She would have a long way to jump up the ballot, also. King is a smart politician who is recovering fast from stumbles early in his first full term. He young enough that, in my opinion, he will most likely want to run for another full term as Attorney General. All in all, I would give Beth the slight edge, imho.

We haven't figured yet if updates should be ongoing and constant, or done more at regular intervals... but there will definitely be names to add, remove, and move up or down as information comes in. This is helpful. And I'm sorry that your comment got caught up in the spam filter where I had to fish it out. Not sure what makes that happen occasionally. Thanks, Thomas, for the feedback.

He already has a grassroots organization, a donor base and the ability to talk about issues that matter to the state. I would not throw his name out at this point. He has as much of a chance as anyone though I'd rather see him run for the U.S. Senate instead of Governor one day. I’d very much suggest you adding Palmer to the Governor’s line.
