A little good news ping...
Which means she is running for governor.
She's wrong for the court and they all know it.
Linguine for spines on our side of the aisle.
I didn’t see that coming...

Well gee isn’t that gonna hurt her with Latino voters?
She sent SodaNoBrains an apology note with a large gift certificate for the chi chi plus sizes ladies store in the Beltway.
Inside was a note, “Sorry I had to vote against y’all, #1 wise Latina babe (you are just so hot!), but Texas needs me so so badly for governor. You all understand. I’ll see y’ll at Friday night’s cocktail party.”
Sotomayor is a Puerto Rican from New York City. I have thought from the beginning that it was condescending to assert that she represents all “Hispanics.” What does she have in common with Texans of Mexican ancestry?
I await the day when we celebrate the first “Asian” on the Supreme Court. Will he or she be Japanese and will the Chinese be pleased at that? Perhaps he or she will be Pakistani, and will the Indians be pleased at that?
Well, well.........she’s comin’ back to run for gooberner’ but I still ain’t votin’ for her. I’m holdin’ out for Ted Nugent to run......:)
Trying to look like a conservative but I will am glad she is doing it anyway.

Gov.Perry wants to seceed. It is someting to discuss. Hutchinson is voting against Sotomayor because she is running for govenor.
I always thought she would have been a good choice for McCain’s VP.
Lindsey Graham thought that he would lead a RINO stampede, but it hasn’t worked out as he hoped.
