Good God, Rick Perry is still the governor of Texas? It seems like he's been there since I was in middle school. Come to think of it...he has been governor since I was in middle school. That was way back in 2000. And he's still alive and kicking!
But for how much longer? Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison has her eye on Austin, whether or not Perry decides to run again in 2010. This would set up a real Clash of the Titans in the Lone Star State. Perry's survived tough challenges before; in 2006 he won re-election in a four-way free-for-all with a Democrat, a Republican-turned-Independent, and some guy named "Kinky." Kinky didn't do too badly, if you're wondering.
Hutchison is in a class of her own, though, and will probably be favored against Perry. I wonder: is she setting herself up as a presidential contender in 2012? People were talking her up as a VP just this year, and she'll only be 65 when 2012 rolls around. So, add it up:
Woman+Executive Experience+Big GOP State=A raging case of White House Fever
This is going to be interesting.
