Democrats Play Defense in Governors' Races
by Daniel C. Vock, Stateline.Org
Eleven states will choose their governors this November, at the same time voters choose between President Obama and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney. Democrats are on the defensive in those contests. Half of the eight seats they are trying to hold on to this fall, like New Hampshire’s, are open because of term limits or retirements. Republicans, on the other hand, are losing only one incumbent.
