Billy J– If you voted for Kinky Friedman, your voter registration should be revoked. Please tell me you didn't actually waste your vote on that goofball nutcase.

Reformed Republican– Her name is Hutchison, not Hutchins.

Truth Teller– she didn't "become a multi millionaire Senator" nor "enrich her family from it". She's married to one of the partners in one of the largest most successful law firms in the country. Trust me, she was well monied long before she got involved in politics.

And to those who haven't figured it out yet– she IS a Republican and not a Democrat.

Care to a venture a guess as to why Texas remains unscathed?

Big Hair Baily vs. Pompadour Perry!

The winner will show who was "nearer to God"!

She would certainly be better than that nitwit Rick Perry that we've got in Austin right now. Perry couldn't find his way out of a wet paper bag on his best of days. We definitely need a change in Austin.

You know people as a True Texan myself ... that stupid remark about 'secession' is becoming an old and tired joke. Get over it! WE will NEVER part ways from the US .........

And will Perry go join Todd Palin in Alaska to secede from the USA?

Agreeing or diagreeing with her policies aside, she seems somewhat bright...I'm guessing she recognizes that nonsense for what it is: fundraising rhetoric from lowlife cut-and-run bitter sore losers who only respect America and democracy when it works in their favor.

Um, With Bush it passed 6 trillion in 8 years. Before Bush it went down under Clinton. Before Clinton The Gipper raised it over 2 trillion which was double all our other presidents combined. You see, The USA pays it's bills with tax money. When we cut taxes we bleed lady liberty. Those deficits are Lady Liberties life blood. Obama needs to raise taxes. He has them lower than the Reagan in the mid 80's by 15%! That a little truth the right wings hacks fail to tell you.

Remember, the republicans have destroyed the economy and lied about WMD's

you make it sound like somehow this last Bush wasn't the worst administration ever. Waaaaay worse than Carter. wanna count

no 9–11 size succesful attack during carter (the iranians did hold hostages just like there are American hostages all over the world right now , for some reason it doesn't matter anymore)

Deficit true, but nothing like Reagans and good lord Bush was just passing out our money to contractors by the wheelbarrow.

no complete infrastructure failure during a crisis like Katrina

it goes on and on. so man up and start helping and stop whining

Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson on Scooter Libby:
I certainly hope that if there is going to be an indictment that says something happened, that it is an indictment on a crime and not some perjury technicality where they couldn’t indict on the crime so they go to something just to show that their two years of investigation were not a waste of time and dollars.

She must have fell off her rocker. She wouldn't stand a chance.

Thanks for the Virginia opinion (useless as it is). Folks here in TX will disagree with you – we're not all "tea bagging" succession seeking wingnuts – there are folks here with live and functioning brain cells.

I doubt I'll vote republican in the governors race here, but I'd take Hutchinson over Perry. He's a wingnut – appointing creationists to the school board, eliminating health programs in the schools. Embarrassing the state with his ridiculous talk about succession.

He barely held on in the last election – heck, he almost lost to Kinky Friedman! Perry's a gonner, and to that I say good riddance.

She'll have a fight on her hands if Bill White the mayor of Houston gets in the race...but the outcome will be better if Perry is tossed out.
