Sen. Hutchison, Please turn the lights off when you leave DC. It's time Gov Perry appointed a 'real' conservative to represent Texas in the Senate.

Now, BYE!!!!

I second that!

It sounds like Perry should be the senator. That would be good for all of us. It wasn’t made clear in the article . . . does Hutchinson remain in the Senate, then?

So the cheerleader speaks. Wow. So much promise, such a disappointment. Hey Kay maybe another day.

She may not finish out her term.

But, while the governor gets to appoint a replacement, it also ensures an open field in the special election (multiple Republicans and Democrats can be on the ballot, top two go to runoff). More Republicans have indicated an interest and it is possible that it could come down to a Republican and a Democrat with the Republican candidate getting there with 20% support.
