I'm a pretty firm democrat, but I dont think he's terrible. Definitely not a 'good' governor, but hes a safe governor in the sense that not much will change while he's in change. The political equivalent to kicking a can down the road until an actual good candidate is ready to challenge him.

I do find it really amusing that he always makes appearances wearing work boots. Hardworking, blue-collar, man of the people, just with a trust fund.
