Thanks for the sane post. This letter was 12 YEARS ago.

With Hutchison AND Strayhorn poising to challenge Perry in the primary, this may be an ugly campaign.

While Perry is no Dubya, he is our governor. Some posted recently that the last 2-term Governor before Bush was THIRTY YEARS ago? Well, Perry will get MY vote.

Republican Bill Clements served 2 terms, 1979-83 and 1987-91! Mark White was Gov. for the term between Clement's. Ma Richards served 1 term, then Bush was ELECTED twice but only served part of his second term. (Clements was also the first Republican Texas Governor since Reconstruction!)

Perry used to be a Democrat, so why is this a shock?

"This letter was 12 YEARS ago."

The problem was that 12 years ago was when Hillary was at her most dangerous. She had huge Democratic majorities in the House and Senate, and her husband as present. She had just changed her last name from Clinton to Rodham. She was on a tear to reshape America to her Socialist dream - but this dingbat governor couldn't even figure that out.
