Many of us vote for her consistently because she’s not in our faces when she leaves the reservation on us…but what she’s done in 2000, 2004, and now is destructive and she needs to be called on it!

Texas is a conservative state. KBH’s voting record is in accord or slightly to the Left of her constituents. That is the mark of a true RINO. It takes couraqge to vote conservative and risk your poltiical career in Northeast. Its doesnt in Texas or Utah. KBH and Bennet are pathetic compared to someone like Mitt Romney, who ran a center-right administration is the most liberal state in the country.

Texas should have two conservative giants in the Senate. They should have the Right’s Ted Kennedy. Instead they give us Coryn and KBH.

As I see it…no matter what happens…the Texas GOP takes it in the rear…and the only one that can benefit is Kay!

She’s not a rock ribbed conservative but she’s not quite a RINO either. Luke Warm is the term I’d use for her.

This needs to be done in the back rooms…she needs to be told she’s had her last opportunity to pull this crap and the money just won’t be there for her if she doesn’t step aside and make room for Williams.

Normally I’d be against such dealings…but she’s screwed too many people over the last 9 years or to be entitled to any loyalty….incumbent or not.

As I said above…I don’t know what extent her shenanigans played in defeating Henry Bonilla…his seat is now held by a Democrat, (I’m sure redistricting had a part in it’s loss)…but it couldn’t have helped that the last time Henry ran…his whole campaign was set for a Senate run and he had to switch back to a run for the house when Kay pulled a switch after signaling a run for Gov.

This is about knocking off another liberal Republican with a very nice and exciting Conservative candidate! To hell with what KBH wants this is about US…hehe!

I mean…if you’re not committed to running for governor…then don’t run for Pete’s sake. and stop signalling you’re going to do something till you’ve made up your mind to do it…like I said…this is 3 times now she’s made a false start and thrown down ticket candidates through the ringer. I can’t say she was the reason Henry Bonilla lost when he did…but it couldn’t have helped to have his campaign thinking Senate run right up to the last minute…and that’s Kay’s fault…

Like I said…she should be politely asked to retire and spare us any more of this foolishness!

If she doesn’t resign her seat then there won’t be any election for it next year, which, as you say, leaves all of these people who have ramped up campaigns twisting in the wind.

What a mess this woman has made.

I couldn’t have said it better…and I’ll say it again for emphasis…this is the THIRD time she’s pulled this crap….it’s beyond infuriating!

And why the hell would she make herself look even more opportunistic and weak by floating this news in the first place, when according to one poll she’s already trailing Perry by ten points?

If she doesn’t resign her seat then there won’t be any election for it next year, which, as you say, leaves all of these people who have ramped up campaigns twisting in the wind.

What a mess this woman has made.

and I hope Williams takes her on anyway…he’s already ramped up his campaign…I think she’d be vulnerable because she’s proven her indecisiveness…he could use it a s a cudgel to get her out of the way…and I’d say GOOD RIDDANCE!!

will KBH resign if she loses primary?

I dont THINK so!

I think this is good for the GOP – we avoided multiple trainwrecks at once.

Those who think this is bad for conservatives have it wrong.

First, we need KBH’s vote in DC right now, we cant afford a single Republican off the bench.

Second, KBH is behind in the primaries. I predicted she wouldn’t resign because I predicted Perry would lead the primary and win. This is KBH’s acknowledging that. If anything, not resigning make’s it easier to vote for Perry, as GOP voters ‘play it safe’ and not let the Dems mess with us (Sharp and White were raising money for US Senate runs).

The Dems have a WEAK WEAK Gov field. Whoever wins on GOP side is a shoo-in in November.

I would add that KBH will leave the senate in 2012 when her term ends. She may then make a run in 2014 or retire.

THIS IS BAD FOR THE TEXAS DEMOCRATS WHO WERE AIMING FOR THE US SENATE RACE. Also a LOT OF GOP MONEY NOW CAN FOCUS ON TEXAS HOUSE RACES instead of getting eaten up by several crazy races at the state-level. With a full plate of GOP incumbents and a GOP wave year, the Dems are toast in Texas in 2010…

If we re-nominated Gov Rick Perry, which is the better conservative choice right now, then TEXAS GOP CAN FOCUS ON TEXAS HOUSE AND SENATE RACES … and defeating lib Dem US Reps Chet Edwards, Lloyd Doggett, Gene Green and Ciro Rodriguez. We have a LOT of opportunities to focus on and one less US Senate seat to defend and to worry about is good for us.

2012 may see another shot by the Dems at the Senate seat… we shall see. They tried in 2002 and it didnt go well.

Bottom line: THIS IS GOOD NEWS FOR THE TEXAS GOP. We avoided a GOP trainwreck of multiple crazy races. The Dems are going to get KO’d in 2010 here.

So we will have a do-nothing Senator for the primary season. Oh well, what else is new?

By the way, Houston (soon to be ex-) mayor Bill White is now contemplating a run for the Senate instead of the Governorship.
