There are many more than these few, but these are the ones are going actually win or at least have a finding chance. Special Note is Susana Martinez who WILL become the first female Latina governor of any state and Nikki Haley who will be the first Female Indian American Governor (2nd Indian American Governor to Bobby Jindal), both women are killing it in the polls.

At age nine, her family was forced from their home in the city by the communists and sent to a small village.

Isaac Hayes: An African-American, who grew up on the South Side of Chicago.
Hayes is running against Jesse Jackson, Jr., to represent Illinois’ 2nd Congressional district.

Can't find polls on it, but JJJ was voted as one of the most hated politicians in IL and tied to the Blago scams. I see JJJ going DOWN!!!

Robert Enirquez is losing in the latest poll 60%-15%. He supports drivers certificates for illegal immigrants and racial quotas. Enriquez is a liberal democrat and that's why republicans aren't supporting him. The 3rd party candidate will get more votes than Enriquez.

I don't know much about him, since Jesse White is one of the few Democrats I have marked down. White has done amazing things for the DMV!

Robert Enriquez never got traction in the campaign trail; his polarizing nature and his unapologetic attacks to women in power push him to the sidelines. Besides his commitment to move forward the Liberal agenda.

He didn’t even get the support of Latinos. This is one of those races that hurt Latinos who might be thinking to get into politics. It would take a young Conservative candidate who can unite Latinos to fix all the damage made by Robert Enriquez to the Republican Party.

Let's no overblow it. This is the Secretary of State position, not the governor! Few people even know who Enriquez is. I try to stay updated on politic, esp in IL, and I had no idea who he was.

Not to mention you left out the fact that he was running against Jesse White, a popular candidate amongst Republicans and Democrats alike!
