We’ve (sadly!) lived out of TX for 8 years now, so I have not kept up with TX politics in that time, so I can’t account for it. He does have nice hair. :)
I WILL do a little more reading up on him, because I admit that what I don’t like about him is all from the past. Maybe he’s evolved. Strangely one of my libertarian friends (a Ron Paul supporter of all things) supports him as a second choice. This really floored me.
2 of my kids who are still in TX are very plugged in (they are over 30, not really *kids*) and I tend to trust their judgement. I’ll see what they have to say on the matter since I know they do keep up.
I would love to be pleasantly surprised, but I’m very leery. I’m tired of politicians being....well, politicians.
Politicians are the necessary evil. The best of the lot anyways. Otherwise, you get to vote for Community Organizers. ;-)
