The 2008 elections were held exactly a month ago. Today, Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison took the first legally required step that must be taken for her to seek the Republican nomination for governor in 2010 — which will be precisely 20 years since Ann Richards was elected governor.Today, Hutchison established an exploratory committee. If she runs for governor, as expected, she will face the incumbent, Gov. Rick Perry, in the Republican primary. Perry was lieutenant governor when George W. Bush was elected president and became governor when Bush left for Washington. Perry was elected to full four-year terms in 2002 and 2006.
In other news, Candy Evans of D Magazine confirms the address where George W. and Laura Bush will live after they leave the White House next month. It's an address in the affluent Preston Hollow section of Dallas.
Evans presents a compelling case.
And, while it is hardly news to suggest that Richard Nixon and his associates weren't above manipulating events to suit their political purposes, nevertheless today we have a report from the Associated Press stating that President Lyndon Johnson, in recorded telephone conversations during the final months of his presidency, "voiced worry over the Vietnam peace talks and stridently suggested that associates of Richard Nixon were attempting to keep South Vietnam away from the table until after the 1968 election."
