Delt Alum, I believe governors do better because it's much easier to see a Senator's voting record and use it against him. No matter how in line a Sen's views are with the majority of the people, they'll always vote things that piss someone off or can be used in a campaign ad. Kerry blew it when he tried to explain his "flip flop" and the votes he made were logical.

Governor's can be active by saying "I'm going to change X" and even if they never accomplish it, it's not the Gov's fault, it's the legislators. Plus only one state will be pissed at him at a time.

/Sorry a bit of a ramble.
