would it matter?

Love that he keeps trying.

and is an egotistical has been who THINKS he can do better than Good Hair. Chris Bell would have been an excellent Governor of Texas.

to voters

she is much smarter :rofl:

eom

Either to Bell or Strayhorn--either of whom would have been better. Perry had a 33% approval rating and won reelection because his opposition was so divided.

It's a publicity thing for him, and a giant ego stroke, and in the end he's just helping Perry. Maybe he'll catch some debillitating illness and stay out of it this time. Not the Dems are bothering to run anyone so far.

Then they deserve pretty much whatever happens to them.

become Saudi Arabia.

Here's the likely "Democratic" nominee: John Thomas "Tom" Schieffer (born October 4, 1947) is the most recent United States Ambassador to Japan, and served as U.S. Ambassador to Australia from 2001 to 2005. Schieffer is a friend and former business partner of President George W. Bush. He is the younger brother of Bob Schieffer, a CBS News reporter and host of Face the Nation. As of March 2, 2009, he is forming an exploratory committee towards a possible run for the office of governor for the state of Texas as a Democrat.

There is a movement to draft Leticia Van de Putte, and I may jump on that wagon if nothing else develops. Actually, I might even if something else develops--she'd be worth supporting, and a friend of mine is strong behind her.

I'd vote for him on that alone. Kinky should stay out of it. Although I have to admit I laughed at the "Kinky Friedman - Why the hell not?" bumper stickers. I'm going to need to move to Austin.

I'm not sure I would put him in charge of anything.

Of course, that was a long time ago. Perhaps he's changed. :P

who knows?

Seriously.

He stands for nothing.
