I’m kinda leaning toward Kay Bailey for three reasons.

#1 - In Texas, the Governor’s job is really titular rather than actually powerful.

#2 - We have a decent Lt. Governor and Speaker of the House (who both set the legislative agenda for the State Senate and State House, respectively) to keep her in check.

#3 - It gets her out of the Senate and we can get a decent senator to replace her (can anyone say “Medina”?).

According to a Rasmussen Reports general election survey, Democratic ex-mayor Bill White would trail both Kay Bailey Hutchison and Rick Perry in the Texas gubernatorial election if either one were to win the GOP primary. However, if Debra Medina were to win the GOP primary for Texas governor and then have to face Bill White in a one-on-one election match-up, Bill White would win.

The biggest RINO is a Libertarian running as a Republican and causing a split in the conservative vote. Ron Paul will not run as a Libertarian because he can't get elected and neither will Medina

Your senario helps get rid of both of them in effect. Perry out now and KBH out after one term. That way we get her out of the Senate, Perry out and then her out in of the gov. office in 4 yrs. 10 years is enough as governor and 17 is more than enough as Senator.
