Long Range Tea Inspection

The estimable, non-partisan Rothenberg Political Report takes a gander through the telescope at the '07-'08 Gubernatorial races and, not surprisingly, finds Missouri Governor Matt Blunt a bit vulnerable. Political editor Nathan Gonzales gives the rundown.

VULNERABLE (3 R, 1 D)
• Blanco (D-LA)
• Blunt (R-MO)
• Daniels (R-IN)
• Fletcher, (R-KY)

Democrats and others figure the wind will still be at their backs in 2008. The Senate races often dominate the coverage, but the Dems shifted some states' dynamics by picking up 6 Gubernatorial mansions in 2006. As Gonzales points out, the Governor's spot is even more attractive given the upcoming Congressional redistricting.
