Who’s to say Cruz will make the cut? Potential Republican candidates include author, minister, and former Vice Chair of the Republican Party of Texas David Barton; Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick; former Governor Rick Perry; and Congressmen Michael McCaul, Jeb Hensarling, and Louie Gohmert. He’s not a shoe in to win the bid with this type of competition. Something about counting chickens not yet hatched?

Please, Texas, do not elect George P. Bush to anything else.
Perry will probably be Secretary of Energy. Dan Patrick said he is running for Lt. Governor and doesn’t want any other job. He specifically ruled out running for U.S. Senator.
