It’s like trying to choose between McCain and Lindsey Graham
Well each state has their crosses to bear.... I guess it could be worse but one possible salvation is that the Gov. in Texas isn’t the strongest of positions.
Dubya won't say a word, one way or the other. If pressed, he will compliment both.
He's done with politics.
What a choice! I’ll take Perry over the Washington DC Rino.
Kinda interesting. You’d take state forced innculation of your daughter, taking of one of every four miles of private property along a route for roadways, assigning the takings to foreign companies for operation/management/profits?
I like our third choice—a very conservative Republican by the name of Debra Medina. That’s where my vote will go.
I thought she may do better than the last poll I saw where she was at 4%. But things may change as Mar. 2 rolls around.
Well I was born in Texas but lived there 6 whole months. So I don’t know Texas at all.
Still as an outsider I would think this is would be a great year, particularly in Texas, to be perceived as denouncing everyone in Washington. I would think this would be a year, particularly in Texas, that endorsements from other Pols might be harmful with a few exceptions in the eyes of the voters.
Of course with a DC Pol running against an incumbent Governor, I have no idea who will win.
I don’t find Perry likeable, but I do like the tone he is taking, which is to keep the States from buying into federal mandates. Hutchison and the congressional party do buy into such mandates. They don’t go as far as Obama, but they go too far for me. I was confused by Bush’s big new medical benefit, but it becomes clear that moderate republicans like Hutchison are centralists, ans if she becomes governor she will NOT resist Washington wants to do.
Things shall get real ugly when Dick Cheney and Sarah Palin come to Texas to endorse their respective candidates. The tie breaker could be Dubya.
Aren’t Dubya and KBH subdivision neighbors up in Dallas?
It think that the big shots are looking to cut some kind of deal with DC, and so many of them are supporting Hutchison. Maybe if Obama double crosses Big Pharm, they may not be so sanquine as to think that she can help them. Perry is at least promising to throw now real road blocks.
Dubya is on her side of the fence. I think Cheney has already endorsed her. Making it clear that the Republican Party is far more to the left than people think.
Obamacare will not affect Bush or Hutchison.
Dubya is on her side of the fence. I think Cheney has already endorsed her.
Cheney is to make it official on Nov. 17 at a Houston fundraiser for KBH.
For Texas to be such a great state politically we sure do have an uninspiring selection to choose from.
If George W. is for Hutchison, then I am definitely supporting Perry for Governor of Texas!!!
I don’t understand why she thinks that being endorsed by DC politicians is a positive for her either. Maybe her years in the Senate have made her think that being associated with DC insiders will impress Texas voters.
So what the article is saying, is that 10 people who live north of Virginia are supporting another person who lives north of Virginia in the race to become governor of Texas, correct?
He has to be: the woman he picked for the supreme court is very much like Hutchison.

Sad isn’t it? Perry running for King of Texas, KBH running to just get back home, Median running for change by the unknown and then we have the Secessionist from Mansfield I guess running to take Texas out of the Union. Then there are some democrats running just to get their piece of the pie I guess.
Hutchison seems to have a lot of support from the big shots. She was the kind of woman that the big shots would have chosen as VP candidate last year, and my guess is that she was pissed when she didn’t get the pick.
Give Perry credit: he is only laying down the marker. I’m from Texas; Kaye Bailey is from DC.
He got his a$$ handed to him on that and has backed off.
Kind of interesting. You would take a tax and spend liberal - one of O. Snowe’s best friends in the Senate - a woman entrenched in the DC mindset where funds are unlimited, over a conservative governor who has managed to keep a surplus of cash for a rainy day?
