Texas Weekly rumors; potential primary lineup
Texas Weekly's new issue is out.

TW notes that Roger Staubach is rumored to be thinking of a Senate run if KBH runs for governor. He's a perennial mention as a possible candidate, they note. Also, TX Supreme Court Justices Dale Wainwright and Harriett O'Neill and State Rep. Dan Branch (Dallas) are interested in running for Attorney General if Greg Abbott runs for something else.

So, let's do a rundown of the primary lineup on the Republican side:
Governor
Gov. Rick Perry
Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (all but a given at this point, unless she changes her mind)

Senate
Roger Staubach (?)
Congressman Henry Bonilla
Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst

Lt. Gov
Comptroller Carole Keeton Strayhorn
Attorney General Greg Abbott

Attorney General
Justice Dale Wainwright
Justice Harriett O'Neill
State Rep. Dan Branch

Comptroller
Ag Commissioner Susan Combs
BushCheney04 Strategist Matthew Dowd
