Hutchison: "I am running for governor"
There was little doubt she was running against incumbent Rick Perry, but Hutchison's campaign dashed off a fundraising letter last week (picked up by the Dallas-Ft. Worth NBC affiliate that includes for the very first time: "I'm running for governor."

The email:

Dear Friend,

Our campaign is off to a great start! I am overwhelmed by the enthusiastic support from all across the state and we are excited for the next phase of the campaign to begin.

I'm writing to you today to ask for your help because I believe we can do better, and I want you to be a partner in our campaign.

I am running for Governor because Texas must prepare for the future. I am running because I believe it is conservative to demand results and hold government accountable - with integrity and responsibility.

As I travel the state, people have expressed frustration with the current leadership in Austin. They tell me the Governor is putting his personal political agenda in front of the agenda that will move the state forward. And you know what, I agree with them.

We find ourselves at a crossroads. People from all parts of Texas feel it is time for a change in Austin.

1. Will they try to out crazy each other before the primary?
Both are real right wingers aren't they? Not too familiar with them. I know Perry rejected the stimulus.
