Some think Perry has presidential ambitions. As for KBH, she has said for several years that she was sick of Washington DC (don’t blame her) and sick of being in the minority party (don’t blame her) but how that added up to challenging the Republican incumbent governor never quite added up for me.
I’m not really sold on Perry because he tends to run right more than he governs however if the polls are accurate, I’m hopeful he avoids a run-off and can keep his money for the general election.
What I want to know is whether KBH will decide to serve out her Senate term if she loses in March. At first, she said would resign to devote her time to running for governor but since it seems clear that she isn’t going to win - and since she never got around to officially resigning - I wouldn’t be surprised at all to see her hang onto her current job til her term is up.
While Medina attracted the attention of Tea Party groups, I think the liberal media did a lot to play up her campaign because they wanted to see the GOP have to spend more money in the primaries so there would be less to use against the Democrats in the fall. Going up against a rested and refreshed Perry will be tougher for them than facing a war-weary Perry.
Don’t think KBH is going anywhere until her term is up after she didn’t resign in the Fall.
Also think your comments about the liberal media playing up Medina is probably true because nothing else makes any sense.
