VP and Cabinet pick speculation season is now well underway, at least on the R side. Noting that John McCain was asked whether he would find work in Washington for Vermont Gov. James Douglas, Brian Namey of the Democratic Governors Association said, "(McCain) said it because he knows Douglas might be in trouble."
He might be -- if Democrats ever get an announced candidate. Even then, emphasis on "might."

GOVERNING Politics is the place for news and analysis on campaigns and elections. If there's a ballot measure in California, a legislative election in Alabama, a mayoral election in Anchorage or a governor's race in Rhode Island, GOVERNING Politics probably is writing about it. We love everything about state and local politics, from polls and campaign ads to policy debates and demographic trends.
