2007 Races: July Edition
Kentucky Governor-
With the primaries over and the nominees settled, it is hard to hear much political news related to this race coming out of the Bluegrass State. Things are probably in a bit of a summer lull and will not truly pick up again until around Labor Day.
I do not believe there have been any polls within the past month, so the most recent ones still show the Democrat, former Lt. Governor Steve Beshear leading incumbent GOP Governor Ernie Fletcher.
By the end of the summer, we will probably know more about if this is truly a competitive race, or one that might start heavily favoring a Democrat pickup.
July rating: Leans Democrat
Louisiana Governor-
The faces and names are still the same for the most part in the Bayou and just about everyone thinks that Republican Congressman Bobby Jindal is going to wind up taking over from Democrat Kathleen Blanco and becoming the next Governor. That might be everyone except for Republican Governor Dave Treen, who for some strange reason said he thinks that Jindal might not be able to win and could get in the race himself.
July rating: Likely Republican
Missisippi Governor-
Does anyone have any tidbits on this race? It is of course still expected to be Republican incumbent Haley Barbour facing off against Democrat attorney John Arthur Eaves Jr., in a race that is expected to go easily to the Republican for four more years.
July rating: Safe Republican
