Theoretical governor's race questionPerry vs Bell vs Kinky
Let's say it's mid October and the polls look like this:
Rick Perry = 35%
Chris Bell = 20%
Kinky Free. = 25%
undecideds at 20%
Would you stick with Chris Bell or would you switch at that point just on the off-chance that we can get rid of Captain Goodhair?

1. Bell all the way......
and this is assuming Kinky can even get on the ballot.

If the Repukes have a three way governor primary, it will be a HUGE turnout. That's going to make getting the required VALID signatures on petitions for Kinky start getting tighter.

Also, at some point, Kinky will have to address his closeness to the Bushes.

2. Agreed.
I dig the Kinkster, but the potential Pug 3-way might pull the plug on his chances to get on the ballot.

3. That'd be a toughie.
Meh. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. Honestly, I don't think that Gov. Goodhair's going to make it out of the Rethug primary, esp. if KBH jumps in (which I hope she will.)
