Talk:United States gubernatorial elections, 2007
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The U.S. gubernatorial elections of 2007, of which there are three, will be held on November 6, 2007. Governors coming up for re-election are Ernie Fletcher (R-Kentucky), Kathleen Blanco (D-Louisiana) and Haley Barbour (R-Mississippi). Of these three, Barbour is the most popular and can be expected to win re-election fairly easily. Both Fletcher and Blanco are unpopular; in Kentucky Fletcher's governorship has been embroiled in scandal while in Louisiana Blanco has taken the flack for the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and the federal government's ill-preparedness to deal with casualties, and 63% of Louisianans disapprove of her.
is just me but does not some of that sound pov ? "Barbour is the most popular and can be expected to win re-election fairly easily." "Blanco has taken the flack for the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and the federal government's ill-preparedness to deal with casualties"

[edit] Naming convention
I would like to resurrect my previous idea to change the current naming convention for elections. The current convention is:
- Use the format "Demonym type election, date", for example "Canadian federal election, 1867"... (WP:NAME#Elections}
I propose this is changed to allow two alternatives, as follows:
- Use either this form: political division type election, date, or this form: political division election of date. For example, Canadian federal election, 1867 or Canadian federal election of 1867. Where an article has been created using one form, do not move the article to the other form.
This new option would make linking more natural and make the article names more encyclopedic.
Please comment on this proposal at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions#New elections proposal
