I hope the Tea Party has a couple of awesome candidates to choose among. We’ve got too many moderate/RINO Republicans in TX.
There will be a plenty lined up I expect. It remains to see who will be viable in the presidential year........
From the DMN is a note of some potential candidates on both sides of the aisle.
Likely Republican contenders to succeed her include Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert , state Sen. Florence Shapiro of Plano , Railroad Commissioners Elizabeth Ames Jones and Michael Williams, Weatherford car dealer Roger Williams, and Ted Cruz, a former Texas solicitor general and candidate for state attorney general.
Possible Democratic contenders include former Texas Comptroller John Sharp and former Houston mayor Bill White.
