Well I’m disappointed he won’t be in the Senate. But on the bright side his chances of serving in Congress have gone up, I assume he’d be the frontrunner for the House seat.
He may not be all that bad in the grand scheme of things but he’s definitely the RINO choice in Texas.
Understood!
Finishing third or fourth in the Senate primary (which, unfortunately, was the likeliest result) would mean that Michael Williams would be out of office and would have limited choices for a 2014 comeback. Winning a U.S. House race would allow him to serve in Congress, build up a conservative voting record on federal issues, and allow him to stage a future Senate or gubernatorial run. Under the circumstances, I think that it would be the right move. While I’m disappointed that he won’t be in the Senate next year (damn that lying KBH), I would have been even more disappointed had he become a political has-been after a finishing out of the running in the Senate primary.
I assume he’d be the frontrunner for the House seat.
The key to will be [a] if the districts remain drawn as presently discussed and [b] into which district Joe Barton decides to cast his lot. Congressman Barton has homes that will be in both districts so he could choose the district with his home in Arlington or the other district which includes Ellis County where he also has a home. I’ve seen nothing so far that gives any indication how he would choose.
