Worst governor of your state

[davidpdx]

157. We've been very lucky in Oregon in terms of governors

McKay was in office 60 years ago and Whiteaker 150 years ago.

In the last 60 years:

Paul L. Patterson December 27, 1952 February 1, 1956 Republican
Elmo Smith February 1, 1956 January 14, 1957 Republican
Robert D. Holmes January 14, 1957 January 12, 1959 Democratic
Mark Hatfield January 12, 1959 January 9, 1967 Republican
Tom McCall January 9, 1967 January 13, 1975 Republican
Robert W. Straub January 13, 1975 January 8, 1979 Democratic
Victor G. Atiyeh January 8, 1979 January 12, 1987 Republican
Neil Goldschmidt January 12, 1987 January 14, 1991 Democratic
Barbara Roberts January 14, 1991 January 9, 1995 Democratic
John Kitzhaber January 9, 1995 January 13, 2003 Democratic
Ted Kulongoski January 13, 2003 January 10, 2011 Democratic
John Kitzhaber January 10, 2011 Incumbent Democratic

The great thing is by the end of Kitzhaber's 3rd term we will have had a D governor for 28 years and 2 days, just under the record for the longest time held by the Republicans at 28 years and 5 days.
