Republican Governor Bill Owens of Colorado is term-limited and will leave office in 2006. He has been discussed as a possible presidential candidate. He is telegenic, young, relatively moderate, popular, and has consistenly had high approval ratings. He is also separated from his wife of some 28-odd years, which might prove difficult to overcome. Here is a brief bit on him from a George Will column of a couple of years ago. "Owens, who in 1998 became the first Republican elected governor here since 1970, is in his second and final -- he is term-limited -- four-year term. In 1998 he barely won, 49-48. In 2002 he won a 63-34 landslide. He is 52 and looks younger. He has no political plans. He has three children, hence an incentive to return to the private sector. But his record between 1998 and 2004 will, in 2005, lure many Republicans, aware that National Review calls Owens the nation's best governor, to his door."
