Ted Nugent!....or any other Republican that's willing to run.

I guess she is still depressed over losing in the primary for the Governors office!

My vote goes to Michael Williams

All across Texas citizens are calling for a renewed commitment to the 10th amendment and a reinvigorated adherence to the principle of Federalism and the doctrine of enumerated powers.

These Texans believe they were created in the image and likeness of God and endowed by Him – not Washington, not Austin -- with certain inalienable rights. They believe that governmental power properly resides, first, with the people, who then grant or delegate their power, reserve it, or prohibit its exercise. They believe the Constitution assigns the federal government specific, but limited powers, and that most government functions are left to the states. They believe the doctrine of enumerated powers is the principal line of defense against an overreaching federal government and that the Bill of Rights, added two years after the Constitution was ratified, provides further protection. They believe the principal role of government is to advance the cause of individual liberty.

Back when she was elected in 1993, I thought that maybe she might surprise us by being a feminine moderate, but she turned out to be to the right of Attila the Hun. This despicable woman has no heart or empathy and has predictably ALWAYS voted Hard Right. She is a witch on wheels.

My vote goes to Bill White too...I agree with wehotex on this one.

[catman]

I agree. Bill White for me as well.

The Pajamas Media Tatler has posted news of Michael Williams...

Texas Railroad Commissioner Michael Williams resigned this morning, and will soon announce his run for the Senate seat from which Kay Bailey Hutchison is retiring. Williams chairs the Railroad Commission, which regulates the states energy industry. Williams, a tea party favorite, can be expected to bring his energy expertise to bear on the campaign.

We won't get a Democrat in the seat, but I hope to God we can get someone more moderate than Michael Williams in there.
