Just to 2012 she says which frees up some repub campaign money for the 2010 races. Overall a good thing and I’m no Kay Baily fan.
It is a good thing and a lot of people in TX and outside had been encouraging her to stay until her term is up and like you said free up cash and not put another seat in play when we need all the money to go after the Dems. She is not my favorite person but I agree with the decision.
