As of today, there are 24 Republican governors and 26 Democratic governors in the United States. With the upcoming election, the Republicans are looking to win more governor seats, with major implications involving implementation of President Obama's legislation such as the healthcare bill. In addition, governors will have a say in how to redistrict Congressmen and women in their states with the updated population information from the 2010 consensus. The governor races and their outcomes may play a big role in policymaking over the next decade, since key races are in battleground states that President Obama needs to win in order to be re-elected. To combat that possibility, the Republicans are picking controversial policies such as healthcare reform to gather more support for their run, which seems to be working. Stayed tuned...
