Most may be relative moderates

Republican gubernatorial candidates are also able to be more moderate than Republican presidential candidates, and therefore tend to be more ideologically compatible
with the Democrat-dominated electorates of blue states. This is because the ultra-conservative wing of the GOP has less influence in the primary elections of blue states.

And Democrats of the more moderate Republican governor states would be more likely to pay attention to experts on matters of budgetary control
