How many McDonald's does New Jersey have? I don't like Gov. Crisco either, but I voted Brewer for her bill she signed that stops funding to Planned Parenthood, and just overall.

Walker is bad, but at least Wisconsin hasn't put a "papers please" law on the books.

His attempts to solve anything usually involve subverting democracy somehow. I can't stand him. I hope R-Money picks him as his VP candidate. It'll drive Michiganders out to the polls in support of Obama in huge numbers.

7. John Kasich

There so many great choices but Kasich truly deserves to have his name up on this wall of shame with these other losers. Tried to ban public sector unions. Privatized big chunk of the state government. Takes campaign money from gas companies and then allows them to have nearly free reign to pump whatever toxic soup they want into the ground despite evidence it causes health problems. A real loser. I can't wait to watch him lose in November.

is a real embarrassment. His out of country privatization, union busting, stand your ground and balancing the budget by cutting everything, especially education, causes us to lower our heads in shame.

11. Tom Corbett warrants dishonorable mention
Sat May 5, 2012, 07:29 AM
May 2012

Although these people are all much of a muchness. Really, aren't they all in lockstep pushing the GOP agenda? Corbett and the PA Assembly have passed laws requiring transvaginal ultrasounds, requiring drug tests for welfare recipients, allowing fracking companies to override local ordinances, and giving away the Susquehanna River.

That being said, I cannot cite him as the "worst" governor currently serving. And that, my friends, is the scary thing.

The Michigan house, senate, atty general, supreme court are all republicans or republican controled . Plus, Michigan is home to Eric Prince (Blackwater), Dick DeVos (Amway), and the Mackinac Center for Public Policy.

All eyes are on Wisconsin, but what is happening in Michigan is the real story (which is why it is not being covered by the media - except Rachel Maddow).

He makes every other terrible governor look brilliant, competent, ethical and compassionate in comparison. He is a vindictive and power mad sociopath and a corrupt and inept buffoon who is ruining everthing for everyone in the U.S. Commonwealth of the Nothern Mariana Islands.

But I think Snyder is more dangerous than all of them and that says something. Walker, Scott, the asshole in Ohio whose name I can't spell, Christie, Daniels and the aforementioned Corbett are right there with him though.

Runners up include the douchebag in Virginia, the idiot in South Carolina, Hell, any and all republicans. The dickbag in Maine, the jerkoff in Tennessee and so on.

Telling women to just close their eyes so they don't see the result of an unnecessary, invasive medical procedure.... Cutting state employee benefits & freezing wages, while giving a tax break to frackers? Totally worthless, and, quite simply, a typical republican.

You know, the guy who said women could "just close their eyes" when getting state-mandated trans-vaginal ultrasounds.

John Kasich has declared an all out war on middle class families such as mine & his assault continues by denying early voting rights to individuals and trying to dismantle any Unions while the rich and elite get richer
