Let the Madcap Revels Begin ...

Understandably, most of the local buzz about the 2010 Texas gubernatorial election has been about Rick Perry and Kay Hutchison ... what they is and what they isn't, what they will and what they won't. But then along comes Farouk Shami, a Houston businessman who officially entered the race, last week, for the Democratic Party's nomination.

According to Shami's campaign website, "the day he becomes Governor is the day business as usual ends in Texas." We shall see ... and in the meantime, let the madcap revels begin. I'll be watching both parties' (Republicans and Democrats) progress with interest.

I think Shami has become an afterthought with this week's Schieffer/White news.

Stewart, you may be right. If White does set his sights on Texas Governor (as opposed to U.S. Senate), it could very well marginalize Shami's chances. And of course, there's always Friedman ... I'm sticking with my post-header.
