Democrats should have a good gubernatorial cycle.

The Washington Times -- the antithesis of The Washington Post in the D.C. area -- today reports:

The decade-long Republican hold on a majority of the nation's governorships is in jeopardy in states from New York to Alabama, though some of the Democrats' stars in the Midwest also are running into political trouble.

Republicans have held a majority of the governorships since 1995 and outnumber Democrats 28-to-22. But election analysts say Democrats could cut deeply into that lead in 2006 because Republicans have to defend many more governorships at stake in the election cycle. Several of those Republican seats are in heavily Democratic states such as New York, Maryland and Massachusetts.
