Patrick will be my vote!

Ditto here. Already voted.

The office of Lt. Governor is often overlooked as one of the more powerful state-wide offices. If we can get a real conservative in there, it will be a game changer.

One of the most powerful??? The Lt. Gov. in Texas is THE most powerful position in State Government. The Lt. Gov. sets the agenda for all legislation to be put on the floor for vote. If he does not like or want a particular committee passed bill, he simply will let the clock run out and not introduce it on the floor for a vote. The Governor of Texas is more like a Cheerleader. The Lt. Gov. actually runs the state!
