TEXAS RUNOFF THREAD

[cotton1706]

Ok, here's a thread for tonight. I live in MA so I don't know when the polls close.

[PAR35]

Looks like Kinky is trailing:

Richard “Kinky” Friedman 38,143 44.34%
Jim Hogan 47,879 55.65%

[deport]

Whatever do you suppose Mr. Dewhurst’s plans for gainful employment are now?

***********

Enjoy his saved up fruits from his many years of public
service and then do some lobbying.

“I think MS has their primaries in a week or two.”

Next Tuesday, June 3rd.

[RitaOK]

When, please?

Strauss has got to get the boot. And then there’s Cornyn. Yikes!

[tennmountainman]

He might join Trent Lott’s Lobbying Firm.
Seems like every RINO loser ends up there.

Fill out his butt-hurt form and meet his lobbyist friends for lunch, tomorrow ;)

A little music for y’all...

I think he needs to be a milk spokesman since he has been living on the left hind teat of the taxpayer for some time now.

[deport]

A few today’s votes are showing up now and Patrick is winning those.

[JRandomFreeper]

Wow. Two spectacular losses in 2 years. He may lose his GOP-e card.
