Gubernatorial succession edit

The article implied that Gov. Brereton Jones simply declined to run for a second term. In fact, he was ineligible. He signed the bill allowing for gubernatorial succession, but that bill specifically did not apply to incumbents. So while the act of signing the bill, in a sense, meant that he "chose not to run," the fact was that he was legally ineligible. (And furthermore, the bill likely would not have gotten to his desk had he insisted on being allow to run -- that particular issue kept succession from passing for several election cycles.)
