“Earle resigned or didn’t run for election in 2008. He ran for the Dem primary nod of Lt. Gov this year and lost to Linda Chavez-Thompson.”
Didn’t hear about that; guess I was asleep at the switch. Don’t follow Austin politics that much here in SE TX. Good to be rid of him, but Chavez is the wife of the ex (deceased) San Antonio Transit System Union president, so in the scheme of things, she is no better.

In her case I don’t suspect she’ll be elected to the Lt. Gov. position this November. I just don’t see White and the democrats winning the top spots in Texas this time. What long range trends will be is something else with all the influx of both illegals and others into Texas.
