TX Gov: Perry (R) 38%, everyone else 53% (why split the vote?!?)
Rick Perry (R) 38%
Chris Bell (D) 14%
Carole Keeton Strayhorn 19%
Kinky Freidman 20%

So it is obvious that Perry is going to win with a small plurality. How would this election shape up if two of Perry's competitors swallowed their pride for the greater good of TX and bowed out? How would happen if the election was Perry vs. Bell, or Perry vs. Strayhorn, or Perry vs. Freidman?

1. it's Texas, it's crazeee
In fact, I think I'll vote for Friedman. If he backs out, then Strayhorn.

I'll never vote for that prissy asshole Bell, ever since he decided to
vote for the war.

2. If Kinky or Carole dropped out...
Bell's numbers would increase along with Perry's.

3. Empty suit Perry will win under any scenario.
He's the Repug candidate, therefore to the brain dead majority in Texas, he's chosen one.
