Barrett says thethree signal gubernatorial races-- between Democratic Gov. Ann Richards andGeorge W. Bushin Texas, Democratic Gov. Lawton Chiles and Jeb Bush in Florida and Democratic Gov. Mario Cuomo and George Pataki in New York -- "are pretty much divorced from these national trends. Very strong personalities are involved. So whether Cuomo wins by 4 points or by 6 points, it doesn't tell you much about what's going to be happening in places when the polls close later."
