thanks, more on Brownback's problems here ..

Poll shows Brownback behind Davis in race for Kansas governor .. one bit ..

The poll shows Davis holding onto 89 percent of Democrats and leading Brownback by nearly 20 points among independent voters. In deep-red Kansas, Davis will also need Republican voters to win in November, and he appears to be getting the support of some 26 percent already. The poll’s margin of error is 3.1 percent.

.. with a video .. are any of these considering a presidential run?

After Mr. Christie are Gov. Bob McDonnell of Virginia, Gov. Brian Sandoval of Nevada and Gov. Susana Martinez of New Mexico. All three are Republicans who govern states carried by President Obama in the last two elections. All three are well-liked, with net job approval ratings average around 30 percent.

Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell is defying political gravity.

For the former Republican Governors Association chairman, 2013 has been the ultimate political rollercoaster. The year began with a historic victory on transportation reform that lifted McDonnell’s popularity into the stratosphere and fueled new talk of a 2016 presidential run — before a federal investigation of undisclosed gifts from Star Scientific CEO Jonnie Williams enveloped the governor’s administration in a cloud of scandalous headlines about secret loans, New York shopping sprees and an engraved Rolex watch.

But to the astonishment of Virginia politicos, a wave of fresh polling this fall
has shown that the governor’s job approval rating remains solid or even strong

Nevada GOP Gov. Brian Sandoval is popular, but not within his party .. excerpt ..

But for all the buzz about Republicans' strong gubernatorial bench — a roster of prospective White House contenders that includes Wisconsin's Scott Walker, Ohio's John Kasich and New Jersey's Chris Christie — there has been strikingly little talk about Sandoval. Even New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez, who has had a rocky relationship with Latino activists .. http://articles.latimes.com/2014/apr/24/nation/la-na-nevada-range-war-20140425 .. in her Democratic-leaning state, is mentioned more often for a spot on the national ticket.

Is New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez the Next Sarah Palin?
Petty. Vindictive. Weak on policy. And yet she's being hailed as the Republican Party's great new hope.
