From , former About.com Guide

Oct 20 2008
Most states hold elections for governor on an alternating cycle with Presidential elections: there are 36 statehouses on the block in the off-cycle (see 2006) and 11 statehouses on the block in the presidential cycle. The other three are elected in odd-years.

In the 2008 election, there are two Democratic governors and one Republican governor not seeking another term.
