What about Jim Hightower?
He was-to the best of my recollection-in favor of all three things, and was still relatively popular when he ran for statewide office.You mean Jim "America's #1 Populist" Hightower? Our former Commissioner for Agriculture? The one put into retirement by Republican Rick Perry in 1990? That Jim Hightower?
Did he run for Agriculture Commissioner on a platform that included gun control, increased property taxes and a State income tax?

I'm not saying he'd play well today.
Then again, Anne Richards probably wouldn't either.
However, the idea that there's not a sizable segment of leftists-who when combined with a group of overly credulous centrists, can form a plurality-in Texas is mistaken.
