#1 Almost as big an issue is the state house: can the GOP run that d*ckhead Joe Strauss out of the speakership? Although nominally a republican, he appoints Dems to head key comittess, and has repeatedly stalled and stopped GOP bills from being scheduled, or else pushes them through multiple comittees to ensure they die without reaching the floor. Prime example: law allowing permit holders to carry on-campus at colleges. As it stands, you are forcibly disarmed by the law the moment you step out of your car, be it in a nice big-college campus as a 21 year old junior, or an adult student at a night class in a rough neighborhood community college campus. Its simply not right - yet Joe Strauss killed it. He needs to go.

#2 Greg Abbott, in the wheel chair since age 26, is a very hard working, determined man. Strong supporter of the constitution, individual right to privacy (successfully sued a Sony for installing spy ware from music cds).

In Texas he is more of a quiet conservative government lawyer than a camera hungry politico.

#3 He sued the Homeowner and the tree service for Ten Million and won, hardly a PO white boy.

Sounds to me a Getter. (Sue'r)
