(13,390 posts)to take over as AG and run for governor 8 yrs later? (All he had to do was change the letter from an R to a D). Or maybe the fact that he has overseen 90% of the states executions and sent in the national guard to attack protesters with tear gas? Maybe the lackluster appeal for Medicaid expansion would do it? That, unfortunately is my governor. The Democrat who we hope will be his successor supported a right to farm bill that essentially eliminated regulations on corporate farms.
What does it take for criticism directed at a Democratic governor to be legitimate?
If someone has a compliment or a complaint about the governor of their state, regardless of party, I respect it. Because partisan lines blur in the south and I appreciate citizens who have principles and evaluate their office holders on their merits.
