Kinky’s out

… and now he’s running for Ag Commissioner

This is good news for Bill White, who know only needs to push out Shami. Maybe next year we’ll only have two significant candidates in the race – unless Kay loses the primary and runs as an independent (unlikely, but hey, you never know).



Congratulations!

Congratulations to the Wylie Bulldogs for a great season. They made it all the way to today’s 3A Division I State Championship today, but were defeated by Gilmer.

Also congratulations and good luck to Abilene High – they are 14-0 and heading for the 5A Division II State Championship next week!

David Dewhurst put a new site up.

It looks pretty good – incorporates the Texas flag very well. One of the neat functions is the ability to put a “yard sign” for David on your Facebook. It looks like he’s being very intentional about his online presence – Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, Youtube, and a blog (with RSS feed).



Texas Gubernatorial getting interesting…

As of a few days ago, Bill White has decided to run for governor. It’ll be interesting to see how this affects the field for Senator Hutchison’s seat (if it opens). Texas GOP came out swinging.

What are you thoughts on these races? I guess somebody has got to make the sacrifice and be the Chris Bell of 2010 – especially since Kinky’s running again. He’s running as a Democrat, though, and I’m not sure if he’ll run independently if he doesn’t get the nomination.

And for your entertainment, here’s what Kinky had to say while in Abilene recently.

What do y’all think about these ads? Kay’s really pushing the conservative image, while Perry is trying to define himself as the Texas candidate and Kay as the Washington candidate.
