Well, for those of us who've lived in Texas, this isn't exactly a great surprise.  Perry just isn't that popular with the rank and file Republican base here, that's what'll kill him more than anything else.

My bet right now is that Hutchinson will run in the primary and knock Perry off, then win easily in the general election, as she is extremely well-liked statewide.

I would then bet very strongly that Henry Bonilla would run for the Senate seat and win fairly easily also.  I really don't know who the Dems could challenge against him.

What's your feelings on that? 

I also realize Bush 41 could run for Gov. and would win easily.  He also looks in very good shape.  I just never had any idea he would run.  Smiley

I live in Austin, too. I haven't heard about Bush 41 running for governor. That being said, I would vote for him. I too am tired of Perry. I only voted for him because Sanchez was a greater evil. What about Dewhurst running for governor? I know in Texas the Lt. Governor carries greater authority, but it would place him in the highest elected office in the state. However, I would love to see Bush 41 run.

I live in Westlake. I wonder how Alex Jones would receive this if Bush 41 runs. He's the local conspiracy nut on the cable access channels here in Austin. He's a big "fan" of the Bush's. God I hope Bush runs and wins just so I can sit back and enjoy the histarical halarity that is Alex Jones.

In Texas the Governor doesn't have that much power other than appointments. The Lt. Governor carries most of the power of the state's executive branch. It would be a relatively easy job compared to being president. Part of his job would be to discuss border issues with Fox. To sum up he would mainly be a public relations governor. The Lt. Governor, David Dewhurst, would run the state.

They guy likes to serve and he considers himself a real Texan.

A Bush goes out (FL) and possibly into the Senate, while another goes into the governorship of TX.

That's a correct assessment.  I've always liked Dewhurst personally.  He's about the only person I've ever seen run a government department by cutting spending and raising efficiency.

80 made me think of Ralph M Hall, actually.
And o/c it's not TOP SECRET if it's on Dave Leip's Election Atlas. Smiley

If you mean Alex Jones, then yes he is still around. There is a guy I work with that always tries to get me to view these tapes by Alex Jones that explains everything. Alex Jones said that it didn't matter who won the election because both Bush and Kerry belonged to the Skull & Bones and the New World Order. However, if we did vote we should vote for Badnarik.

My guess is that Badnarik is from Austin and if Alex Jones could get a hold of the Libertarian party he would have a larger platform to spread his message. Only my guess. Also, the Libertarian party got some momentum in the surrounding areas of Austin.
