Heads Up! Texas Senate Race About to Drop

The Texas Governor position is up for election in 2010. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison intends to challenge Governor Perry. At some time, we do not know when, Senator Hutchinson will resign from her Senate seat. I do not want to get into when she may resign, or what the precise consequences will be, because it’s too complicated for a blog post. However, the simple answer is that at some time we will have an election to replace her.

Several politicians have already started campaigns for a future Senate race. On the Demo side, the only serious candidate is current Houston Mayor White, a very wealthy and slick politician.

On the Republican side, there are several candidates trying to make a stake. My favorite is Commissioner Michael Williams. He gave a short speech at the Austin Tea Party on April 15, and at his campaign site is a video of it.
