Govenors See Influence Wane In Race For Presidency

This is an interesting artcile that was published in the Washington Post over the weekend pointing out the obvious lack of governors in the "race for presidency" and the alarming dominance of senators. The most recent event highlighting this lack of governors in the race was the announcement that Former Governor of Iowa, Tom Vilsack, dropped his campaign for president a mere three months after launching it. I think this lack of governors in the race is very interesting a also pretty rare. I think that it is rather safe to argue that we will see many, if any, governors making it past the primary elections. This is just another issue that I feel is going to make this upcoming election stand out from all previous ones.
