Who wants to be governor

I suppose David Poythress is the first Democrat to officially announce his candidacy for governor in 2010. He should be an interesting candidate, and he's got a great resume and some apparent crossover appeal.

The usual suspects still include Rep. DuBose Porter and Sen. Tim Golden, and while I like both of them, I still see it being a tough road. But the presence of Poythress should make this interesting.

I still think there's more intrigue on the Republican side as even a showdown between Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle and Insurance Commissioner John Oxendine should be fun enough to watch, but if you start throwing in some other wildcards (aka, Glenn Richardson), then it might put the any of the Paul Broun/Jim Whitehead-Barry Fleming races to shame.
