This is so potentially great, even greater than we thought it could be.

Earle v. Hutchison would have been a rematch of the battle previously known as The State of Texas v. Hutchison, a long-ago criminal case in which Earle was The State of Texas and he wanted to send Hutchison to prison for up to 51 years.

The background: Four months after she won the Senate seat in 1993, Travis County grand jurors indicted Hutchison for allegedly misusing state employees and equipment — and destroying state records to cover her tracks — while she was state treasurer.

So you can see why a gubernatorial race rematch of the Hutchison-Earle smackdown offered unlimited potential for the always-festive reopening of old wounds.

Here's the upside: Four years of Hutchison and Earle trying to work together as officeholders should be even more fun than eight months of them battling each other as candidates.
It's the dream scenario for those who believe legislatures legislate best by legislating least. How much lawmaking would you expect from a governor and a lieutenant governor when the latter once tried to send the former to prison?

1. What goes around comes around

I would love for Ronnie to win a statewide race and KBH to get her comeuppance. Never mind how sweet it would be to end Priky Perry's perennial political career.

2. I"m certainly hoping for Bill White to win

but in the sorry situation of KBH winning, it could at least be amusing for Ronnie to have the powerful post of Lite Gov and KBH to have the weak post of Gov and then watch the show. :popcorn:
