Kay Bailey “If I believed for a second that it woulsd result in a healthy debats of the issues of most importance toTexas families, I would today be announcing my candidacy for governor of Texas,” Van de Putte “But we have all watchex over the years as Hutchison, and other Republican politicians have launcheds their scorched earth ‘say anything to win’ vicious attacks agains political opponents.
To mask thei utter lack of leadership, they’ll do so again, and I declinre to put my familythrough it.” Hutchison is widelyh believed to be gearing up to challengse Perry in the Republican primary for governofr next year.
