I wish she was a lot more fiscally conservative, but even with that she's a damn sight more "conservative" than Perry.

she's complying with the law even though she thinks it's unconstitutional. She THINKS it's unconstitutional? Let's try it MOST DEFINITELY IS unconstitutional - even though the courts don't have the guts to say it.
But this also shows how many issues don't matter to our "leaders" unless it directly affects them. This is just another proof of that.

Even Mrs. Reagan was not allowed to bring her .38 revovler to the white house. She said in an interview once, that she used to keep a .38 in the dresser next to her bed, before she moved to the white house.

Hey, if it's unconstitutional, DON'T COMPLY WITH IT! Darn Kay, how long have you been a Senator now?? Sheesh.
It's been said countless times: Better to be tried by 12 than carried by six.

She's running for governor, trying to paint herself as tougher than the grandma with lots of names. I'm open. Anybody but Perry.
It's not clear that she's running for Governor. She hasn't ruled it out, but the GOP is offering her a senate leadership position if she stays.
And if you'd support Strayhorn over Perry, you should be shot.

"I think every woman in the District of Columbia should have the ability to protect herself in her home," she said.And presumably, she should then never leave her home?
What's wrong with having the ability to defend yourself wherEVER you go?

Maybe Kay Bailey can do it with her six-shooter. ;-D

I'd prefer to be in a foxhole with KBH than with "one tough grandma." Strayhorn is only good at shooting off her mouth.

"Strayhorn is only good at shooting off her mouth."
Agreed. I believe that's a trait often found both in Austin and Washington.
I gained too many gray hairs during the election last fall. I intend to sit back and enjoy wild and wooly Texas politics for a while before getting serious and involved again next year. So chill for a while, Dog. Might as well have a little fun with the preliminary scuffle til the dust settles and we know who's actually in the fight.

For all you guys out there who call her a RINO, note that her name NEVER shows up in the list of 10 or so wavering Republicans in the Senate on the filibuster issue.
Say what you want about other issues, especially abortion, but KBH will NEVER prevent a solid conservative from getting on the Supreme Court (or any other court) - and if I supported Roe (which I sure as heck don't), I wouldn't even waste my time talking to her about keeping people off of the courts - she's right there with the mainstream conservatives.
And she hates toll roads - so I want her as gov.

If she is so strong in the Senate, perhaps she is better off there. Not to say that she couldn't make a decent governor, just everyone has a role to play.

To: weegee
Yea - it would be a HUGE loss if she were replaced by a typical Democrat, but I despise Governor Perry's toll road scheme so much, I'd be willing to risk it.
The other thing being, as alluded to by Rush today, is that if the Republicans can kill the filibuster now, they don't have to worry about it next term, even if they lose a couple of seats in the Senate (in other words, the Dems would have to resurrect it - rather than the Republicans having to kill it again).
So if this filibuster stuff goes well for us, she won't be needed in the Senate quite as much - but she would still be missed.

She decides to act like a Conservative just as she's leaving Washington?

Check her record. If Kay Bailey Hutchison isn't a conservative, then there aren't too many around. She has one of the most conservative records in the Senate. Check things out before shooting from the hip - if you wish to remain credible.

I'll feel a little more comfortable after some Supreme Court nominees get approved.

Note I said SC, these current judicial nominees are nothing compared the outrages that the Democrats will try when Rehnquist and others leave.
