Barbara Radnofsky and more gossip
Democratic County Chair Vince Leibowitz reports that Houston lawyer Barbara Radnofsky will officially enter the race for KBH's Senate seat. Leibowitz claims:
Aside from Hutchison staying where she is in the Senate, one scinario favored by many Republicans has Hutchison retiring and not running against Perry, and Comptroller Carole Keeton Strayhorn, who is also considering a run against Perry, dropping out of that race to seek the Lt. Governor's position held by David Dewhurst. Dewhurst would in turn run for Senate, the position he reportedly favored in 2002 over the one he holds now. Still others favor Dewhurst staying where he is and the outspoken Strayhorn or AG Greg Abbott making a run for Senate.I don't think Senator Hutchison is retiring, but stranger things have happened.
