2006 Texas Governor Race
In a development that is certain to devastate Lone Star Republicans, Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison has decided that she wants to stay home and runfor Governor. This will require taking on Governor Rick Perry in a primary. Perry is very popular with conservatives, and I expect he will win in spite of her greater popularity statewide.
Only one person can save the Texas Republican Party from disaster, and that person is George W. Bush. He needs to intervene now by endorsing one of the two and urging the other to leave the race.
