    I think Bill White might have something to say about that.

    I have heard that Kay Bailey Hutchison will oppose him in the primary.

    I will be happy if we don't have 3 other people on the ballot vs this ass-clown. Never saw the merits of strict ballot access rules and a strong two party system until Kinky and the Grandma messed us up last time.

    The state has a $10.7 billion dollar surplus. Somebody has done a nice job

    Chris Bell was a joke and would have lost even worse if it were just he and Guvner Good Hair.

    ExxonMobil, Shell, BP, ConocoPhillips, CITGO, et al. Perry gave a half-hearted effort to end the prosperity with his gross receipts tax.

    No argument here. Perry's never faced a strong Democratic Party nominee. In 2010, if he chooses to run, he will. I doubt it will work out very well for him. Hutchison/White would be a tough race favoring the Republican. Perry/White would put a Democrat back in Ann Richards' seat.

    how great would it be for the longest serving governor to lose his seat in a primary?

    With the way he bungled the crime situation (and the evacuees overstaying their welcome) after Katrina and the light rail debacle, that's just funny. Out of touch...

    Oil is at 126 there happen to be a lot of oil companies in TX. At the state level what effect does the governor have on the state economy?

    He would have lost the election if the two clowns decided not to run. I can't believe Texas doesn't require a majority to win.

    He wants to limit free trade and increase taxes. That's a recipe for disaster.

    Think, people, think.
