Never underestimate this guy...Someone is going to whine and cry to someone else who has some pull in the Democrat party and they’ll dump some last minute cash into this campaign and try to give him a boost in the home stretch...
The Republicans had better be ready for that...
We need to also consentrate on widening the margin of the conservative seats in the state house...We only have a party majority of 3 seats IIRC...there are some targeted districts the liberals are going to put both barrels on till November...I hope their efforts are wasted...
We need to get with our State Reps and Senaors and help them retain their seats for this next session...What ills there are at the Governor and Speaker of the House leval can be manipulated by a strong showing at the polls...
We thought that Voter ID bill was a big deal...
Wait till the Texas Healthcare Protection Act is filed...
What the Federal government did to us with 2400 pages, will have to be undone at the state level with two pages...
We need to make sure we have a Legislative branch and a Governor who will sign it in place next year...
No more fiddle fartin’ around now...We cannot afford it...
We need to also consentrate on widening the margin of the conservative seats in the state house...We only have a party majority of 3 seats IIRC...
I think it is 77-73 [a two seat flip will put it even] but anyway the House is critical as we are approaching a redistricting year after the census is complete. Remember the fight and flight by the democrats that took place last time.
Part of Bill White’s campaign for governor was to expose him to the entire state. He had already started running for Texas’ US Senator (Kay Bailey’s seat) before he threw his hat in the ring for governor.
It’s all been about getting his name out there. And the fact that Kay Bailey said she’d be stepping down AND that Republicans knocked her in the primary means that there may be no encumbant for that seat in 2012.
The expectation is that Lt. Gov. Dewhurst will run for Kay’s seat.
