The Lt. Govenor has most of the power in Texas politics. With that in mind, where does David Dewhearst stand on the planks?

I don't believe he's spoken publicly about the platform. I'm not much of a Dewhurst fan myself, but that is mostly personal experience. The guy's an opportunist, which means he often does the right things but for the wrong reasons.

I guage him as more conservative than Perry, at least in office. And I do have to give him credit as land commissioner - he was basically the only state officer in Texas during his term to actually restrain his office's budget. I disagreed with what he did on coastal erosion vs. property rights, but overall have to give him decent marks from his term as land commissioner. Compared to Perry's disastrous performance, that makes Dewhurst look wonderful.

And you got to compare him with John Sharp. Any stats on these two candidates how they rate. Sharp is very liberal I am told (what has he done that makes him very liberal?).
