The big 3 issues? Nope, not a campaign speech.
The Houston Chronicle doesn't pick up (at least in the online version) the AP story on KBH's talk to the Harris County Republicans, but KLTV in Tyler (and the Denton Record Chronicle, which records that Pam Easton wrote the article) does.
Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison talked taxes, Social Security and the war on terror at a Republican dinner tonight.Taxes, war on terror, Social Security, and W? Doesn't sound like a campaign speech at all, does it?
But mum remained the word on her political future.
The senator is widely believed to be considering a challenge to Republican Governor Rick Perry. But she avoided the topic in a speech to more than 450 people.
Instead, Hutchison focused on President Bush.
She told the crowd at the Harris County Republican Party 2005 Ronald Reagan Dinner that Bush has many of the same qualities that made Reagan a great leader.

Meanwhile, Perry attended an private fund-raiser for the Republican Party of Texas in Austin.
