Rick Perry Announces He Will Not Run For Re-election

 
 


Just heard the news that Rick will not run for another term in the next election for Governor in 2014. That's the good news. The bad news is that he will almost certainly run for President again in 2016. It is also a cinch bet that Texas Attorney General Gregg Abbott will be the GOP favorite to replace Perry. Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst is probably going to run. Another name mentioned is Tom Pauken, a longtime GOP activist, and there are other potential candidates in the wings.
Perhaps the rising star of State Senator Wendy Davis might find opportunity here. Also the Castro Brothers of San Antonio might figure into the mix as Democrats will likely be invigorated in their effort to turn Texas Blue. Let me be among the first to say to Rick "Adios mo fo!"
