The last thing that needs to happen is Republican money in the state going to this race or even NRSC money

She said that she will not resign her seat until after the March ‘10 primaries. In other words, she’s covering all bets - as she is coming to realize that being a Conservative and being a Republican ain’t necessarily the same thing these days. She could very easily be out of a job if she resigns too early.

So we will have a do-nothing Senator for the primary season. Oh well, what else is new?

By the way, Houston (soon to be ex-) mayor Bill White is now contemplating a run for the Senate instead of the Governorship.

Bring on Williams!

or course she like to have a sure thing and running against Perry now isn’t a sure thing. I’m sure that KBH would love to have Radnowsky(sp?) to run against here so she can clean up real good.

KBH is a conservative

Maybe compared to Obama, but she still deserves the name “Kay Barely Republican.”

Greg Abbott will probably run again for AG, Ted said he would not primary him.

and a primary battle with Rick Perry is not a sure thing. She’d do a better job if it was here vs Patti Radle as the Democrat nominee(not very likely since she only likes San Antonio city Council Races).

I’m not a fan of one-foot-in-the-boat candidacies. It radiates the lack of character, lack of confidence, and risk averseness of the politician. That’s not what I look for in office holders and there are already enough of them in the senate: McCain and Kerry. If Virginia is the campaign model the GOP is to follow in 2010, then GOP candidates should remember that Bob McDonnell resigned as attorney general 9 months before the election. Things worked out pretty well for him AND THE GOP CANDIDATES FOR DOWN-TICKET OFFICES.

See my other post - I called this back before even KBH knew she’d have to go this route.

I think this is good for the GOP - we avoided multiple trainwrecks at once.

N/T

“Saying she is still resigning, just after the primaries”

will KBH resign if she loses primary?

I dont THINK so!

The only Conservativewsense in the entire world his gracing our humble website with his august presence. <sarcasm off

Perhaps next time you’ll wank off in someone else’s comment section…

Didn’t this country just elect a guy to the presidency because he was so “cool”? How’s that working out for ya?

1) Based on…..?

2) So you’re bagging on the teapartiers who have been in the forefront of the movement to stop the health care madness…Perry is “creepy” why?…(liberal’s use emotional rhetoric…conservatives deal in objective facts)…and not only did Perry not talk about “succession” (he merely indicated that he understood why people would start talking about it), I think the word you were actually looking for is “secession” (conservatives also know how to spell)

3) and while we’re at it…Go Nancy! Go Babs Boxer! Go SciDiFi! Go Hillary! (I mean they’re women too and as long as you’re practicing identity politics, which btw, is yet another liberal trait….)

I’m thinking a better screenname would be ‘conservativew/oanysense’

Or, more likely ‘liberaltrollwho’snotverygoodatit’

It’s “secession”, you dolt.

Seriously who talks about secession? More people in Texas than the MSM will ever report..for now.

I’d describe the current level of support at a medium simmer. Pass Cap & Trade and Obamacare and watch the simmer become an exploding pressure cooker.

Texas will not roll over to the Federal Government on those issues. It could get very ugly.

KBH not resigning may be a good thing. I’m hoping she’ll just finish out her term and retire.I would like to see Michael Williams go for the big ticket in 2012. Can you imagine Williams in a debate on ANY topic with Obama?

Do you really want to be the jackass to take a dump on the floor on this site. You thoroughly misread the people on this site including myself. The problems that some people have with maybe a Kay Bailey Hutchinson, or some others that tend to blow with the DC elite is that when they vote with the Dem and libs and the legislation turns out to be screwed up, it’s bi-partisan, but if by some miracle the the same legislation turns out to be some sort of success, the Dem and libs ain’t saying work one about it being bi-partisan. Hell the Dems pretty much co-opted civil rights despite the fact many Dems (Papa Gore, Clinton’s mentor, and other dems) did everything under the sun to stop it. But the media whores totally dismiss the GOP/Conservative contribution to that.

I think I smell a troll.

ummm…not sure how to break this to you Mr. 9 day, 6 hour wonder, but, uh, it would take either 2 minutes and 26 seconds of perusing this site, or an IQ above a french fry at room temperature, to realize that an unending, unrelenting theme of the site that you’ve come to hate after, ummm, 9 days and 6 hours, is to ’solve’ the problem by remaking the Republican Party by electing conservatives.

Sheesh, if you’re going to moby, at least work at being *somewhat* familiar with the landscape. You’re giving all of your moby/troll libtard compatriots a bad name.

Since you hate RS so much, I’ll just close your account now.

We might still have an argument. It is not the end of the world IMO if KBH wins the primary in TX. Rick Perry has been governor for 8 years, and that is a reasonable amount of time to be Governor for anybody. Williams can be elected US Senator in 2010, and Ted Cruz can be elected State AG in 2010. It does not sound like the end of the world at all to me.
