Dick Cheney Backs Hutchison Over Perry for Texas Governor
Former Vice President Dick Cheney will endorse Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison in the Texas gubernatorial race, the Houston Chronicle reports. The senator will face incumbent Gov. Rick Perry in the March 2010 Republican primary, and Cheney will appear at a fundraiser supporting Hutchison's campaign on Nov. 17. Cheney, whose former company, Halliburton, is based in Houston, is still very popular among Texas conservatives, and his endorsement could shore up Hutchison's support.The Texas governor's race mirrors national debates over the soul of the Republican Party: Hutchison is still solidly conservative, but has a reputation for being pragmatic and occasionally taking more moderate stances in state and Senate politics. Perry, meanwhile, has headlined anti-tax "tea parties" and publicly ruminated on secession. The race has become increasingly nasty, with Hutchison drawing attention to investigations into Perry's ethics, and Perry painting Hutchison as a Washington-hardened spendthrift.

I don't think Texas likes Kay too much for Gov. She has the WH in her sights, not Texas' interests. She wants to be the first woman President. 2016 is all she cares about. That's the word around these parts of texas! She isn't qualified to run Texas. She doesn't know what the word BUDJET means.

in 2016 Kay will be 73 years old. she won't be "running" at all. she will be walking. her political life on the National level is winding down, not expanding. she is just too old to start now.

I think she knows that the word is spelled BUDGET. Unless, of course, you mean a plane where you can drink beer...that would be a BUD JET!

How about Pelosi for president? She's a tough old gal with a my way or the highway attitude. She would make Obama look like a Libertarian.

I dont know a lot about Kay Hutchison, is she "too Republican" for Texas, oh I know that sounds ridiculous in a way, but in another people are moving the center, I guess we will see what the voters have to say about it!

Kay Bailey was way more qualified then the IDIOT STRIPPER, but the shallow GOP and McPander were thinking America is totally stupid, picked the STRIPPER, an insult to ALL WOMEN, and especially Kay Bailey. They took a "looker" over some brains.

If she steps down from the Senate, then you will know if she has a chance. I think people will be really suprised who will replace Kay in the Senate.

Cheney a true hero - what a joke - check your facts - dickless Cheney HAD not One, not Two, BUT FIVE DEFERRMENTS from the Military .

That Perry guy is fomenting rebellion and should be charge for sedition.
Did Texas got wup over hundred years ago over this same secession issue and gave off a rebel yelp?
For once Cheney got it right..( I cant believe I am agreeing with Cheney)

Rush Limbaugh (super Racist) and key Sarai (super stupid, dumb,
confused)
for 2012!!!!
She is genuinely stupid and can ride on broom with no problem!!!!
And Republicans are chewing their own knuts!!!!!!
Current Health Insurance is a Biblical Harlot riding on Americans.
They (Harlot and Republicans)are discriminating sick , poor and old.
And you have to buy Afflac too!! But when you get sick They-Harlot
supported by Republicans cancel Insurance and Americans 1.6 Million
per year getting bankrupted!.
So now is a time for Insurance for all Americans! let us stop
monopoly of Harlot and Rpublicans support of it.
God bless Obama and all Americans!!!!!!
Republicans are more conservative until conception, but after that
Democrats getting all responsibilities for the rest of the life of
new conception (person), so in conclusion -in Gods eye Democrats are
far more conservative than Harlot-Republicans!!
momento more!
