TIME Magazine ranks Governors: Tax Hikers Mark Warner and Mike Huckabee honored; Sanford among worst

From the diaries . . .

When it comes to raw political talent, there's not a Bill Clinton in this group. But these are the rainy days. And charisma doesn't keep you dry. A roof does. Meet the hardest-working carpenters

Apparently TIME's quest to find the nation's top five governors is to find governors most like Bill Clinton. If that wasn't painful enough to read, you can read about how great of a job governors like Mark Warner, Janet Napolitano, Mike Huckabee, Kathleen Sebelius, and Kenny Guinn are doing.

Funny, each of these five have just enacted major tax increases on their constituents in their latest terms.

But this is where it gets excruciating:

"Governor Mark Sanford is among the three worst governors in the United States" - Time MagazineTIME's TOP FIVE GOVERNORS:

Mike Huckabee

Kathleen Sebelius

Mark Warner

Janet Napolitano

Kenny Guinn

TIME's WORST THREE GOVERNORS:

Bob Taft

Kathleen Blanco

and

Mark Sanford

For Contrast Purposes, these are the grades the Cato Institute gave these governors:

Mike Huckabee - 37 - D

Kathleen Sebelius - 53 - D*

Mark Warner - 56 - D*

Janet Napolitano - 52 - D*

Kenny Guinn - 40 - D

Mark Sanford - 70 - B*`

* - Graded only against Freshman Governors
