The good folks over at The Agonist live-blogged the Chris Bell for Texas Governor conference call.
Highlights: Nate: You mentioned that Perry is probably the nominee. Likely Rep voters, with Kay Bailey 52% to 32% for Perry. What happens if Kay Bailey jumps in and she gets the nod?
Chris: that's a difficult quesiton. I just got back from Dallas and they all want her and believe she will waltz right through. The problem is that the Rep primary is dominated by the far right.
I think it will be a much more difficult proposition than most people imagine. Every poll says Perry would destory Strayhorn. But I don't get to pick who runs in that primary. But lets say Kay wins. Kay is not the same cadidate after a bloody Rep primary than she is today. No one comes out with a good approval rating that they go in with. Charles: do you forsee another Dem in the race? And who might it be?
