Less than a year ago, U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison was the most popular elected official in Texas and the odds-on favorite to be the next governor of Texas. Some polls showed her leading the incumbent, Rick Perry, by more than 20 points.
What Hutchison didn't realize this time a year ago was that her fate may well have been sealed by Tax Day, April 15, 2009, when Perry spoke at tea party rallies in Houston, Dallas and Austin and suggested merely suggested that Texas might have reason to secede from the union. He never mentioned the word secession, but there was no mistaking his drift.

‘U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison was the most popular elected official in Texas’
This guy is nuts
She helped stop the building of the border fence?
For that reason alone, she should be sh*t canned.
Agreed!
She also voted for cloture on McCain’s amnesty bill.
Thanks for the very good update.
It looked like she just wanted another government job.
Her campaign reflected who she is.....perfectly. She approved every hit-piece..... She must think we Texans are ignorant.....typical Washington-think...
Those backroom giggles are expensive, aren't they Kay?
She became unpolular when she almost voted for the amnesty bill.
I think the explanation is easier. Anybody who is happy enough with the current governor was not going to vote to replace him in a primary, and anybody who liked her as Senator was not going to be happy about forcing her out of the Senate.
Is it really a shock when a challenger fails to unseat a popular incumbent in a primary?
Is there any chance she will show her true colors and join the Dems?
I doubt that....she just stepped in that same old bog of stench where all RINOs bath... She will never escape that odor....never.
