These governors may want to change jobs

Here's an interesting piece from POLITICO, outlining states where things are particularly ugly and the governor may want to consider chucking it all and herding sheep or something:

Forget about the quandary South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford faces as a result of his personal indiscretions ... steep budget shortfalls, rising unemployment rates and intraparty squabbles are currently making life extremely unpleasant for most of the nation’s governors, many of whom are experiencing precipitous declines in their approval ratings ... while it’s a rough time to be running a state, in some places the outlook is really bleak. Here’s POLITICO’s list of the worst places to be governor.
