It's extremely bad for the party as a whole, as developing local talent pays off in national elections.
It isn't good news for the Dems, no question, much of this was done in 2010. With that being said it is interesting to note Cuomo in NY and Hickenlooper in CO (both Dems) are generally the two that have the strongest approvals meanwhile Kasich in Ohio and Gov. Medicare Fraud (Scott) of FL tend to have the lowest.

Gov Scott(R) of Florida is so hated, that this will tilt some indie voters in Florida to vote against Romney, thinking that Romney might be as bad as Gov Scott(this could be true, since Scott ran as a businessman). This will probably tip Florida into a win for Obama...which will tip the overall 2012 Pres election to Obama. Due to a rotten governor that could tip the scales slightly in favor of Obama.
