What a bizarre race for Governor here. Rick Perry is vulnerable; somehow, he's just not too likable. Friedman has been tagged with alleged gaffes from his comic routines of years ago, very different from Virginia Senator George Allen's problems.
Strayhorn might draw enough support to put either Friedman or Bell over the top. Since Bell is a better bet than Friedman, I am switching to Bell, despite his blandness. I understand that Bell asked Kinky to quit. This was a HUGE mistake. Has he never heard of back channels for this kind of thing?
In the Senate race, insiders suggest that Radnofsky is really preparing for a run against the ever-bland Cornyn, who should have been beaten by Kirk in 2002 (had Kirk stuck to his original opposition to the war and not run as "Bush Lite"). But there's a debate tonight and "Barbara Ann" is really smart, so tune in and maybe she can pick up some support against a really dumb opponent.
There was a time when Texas had some really outstanding senators. If I were Radnofsky, I would make that point. We deserve better!
