Individual summaries follow the list of these 11 governors.

It's a bummer, really.

It's interesting that the three largest states are all
on the list. They make up over 26% of the country.

A local commentator on NPR today said that Richardson is rated THE WORST governor in that survey.

[Mike Horrell]

That's hard to believe considering the high standards set by Patterson and Sanford..

He has some good and bad points, I think hes done a good job sort of.
He certainly did not inherit a good State thats for sure.

Just to add I am not a Democrat knor a Republican, I hate the 2 party system.

Just for the record: ( terms January 1 to January 1 )

20 David F. Cargo .......... 1967 - 1971 ..... Republican
21 Bruce King ................ 1971 - 1975 ..... Democratic
22 Jerry Apodaca ........... 1975 - 1979 ..... Democratic
21 Bruce King ............... 1979 - 1983 ...... Democratic
23 Toney Anaya ........... 1983 - 1987 ...... Democratic
24 Garrey Carruthers ...... 1987 - 1991 ..... Republican
21 Bruce King ............... 1991 - 1995 ..... Democratic
25 Gary E. Johnson ........ 1995 - 2003 ..... Republican
26 Bill Richardson .......... 2003 - Incumbent Democratic

7 years. Doubled the size of the NM government. I'm sure now.

I heard on the local news (KOAT or KRQE, can't remember) that Richardson was 11th on that list.

[mattywo85]

I actually worked for Bill and he is a really nice guy

[silversurfer]

I think he's done a good job.

I really question the list - they missed Illinois... I think 3if the last 4 gov's have been in jail.
My opinion..

will you say the same thing when Bill sets up all the illegals from AZ in their own subdivision to welcome them to NM with mariachi bands and refreshments?

Im just wondering?
