Regardless of the outcome of this year’s presidential and congressional elections, various Republican state governors are likely to gain a higher national profile. All of them –&nbsp;including Mitch Daniels of Indiana, Chris Christie of New Jersey, Bob McDonnell of Virginia, and former Governor Jeb Bush of Florida – declined to seek the Republican presidential nomination, but will be on the short list for 2016 should Obama win in November.
不管今年大选和国会选举结果如何，不少共和党州长将赢得高度支持。他们——包括印第安纳州的米奇·丹尼尔斯、新泽西州的克里斯·克里斯蒂、弗吉尼亚州的鲍勃·麦克唐纳以及佛罗里达州前州长杰布·布什——都没有需求获得共和党总统候选人提名，但如果奥巴马在11月的大选中获胜，那么他们很可能会在2016年成为民主党的对手。
