I saw that info on the Texas cable news not long ago. What will make this interesting I think is there are several that are wanting to run and 2012 is a presidential election year. So we’ll have a lot of primary contestants for the presidential race and then this race will be open. Money for the not so well funded may make it hard for some of them to run a statewide race. D/FW, Austin, San Antonio and the Houston markets will not be cheap. But it should be interesting.
I received an email earlier, from Sen. DeMint’s Senate Conservatives Fund, that said “the Washington establishment seems to be lining up behind Dewhurst” and that SCF supports strong conservatives like Michael Williams. SCF considers (TX Railroad Commissioner) Michael Williams “an outstanding conservative leader and he will be at the very top of our list as we consider candidates for an endorsement in the 2012 election.”
