She claims she’s known since 2006 that this would be her last term. Could be, but (a) she’s changed her mind about the Senate before and (b) getting blown out by Rick Perry in the gubernatorial primary last year surely must have brought home to her what a 2012 primary would look like. Tea partiers want this seat, and one way or another, they’re probably going to get it. Why put herself through another brutal, expensive primary that’s likely to end in embarrassment?
I wonder what Olympia Snowe’s thinking right now.
Hutchison, first elected to the Senate in 1993, said the swearing-in of the new Congress, among other things, made her feel it was the right moment to announce her resignation.
She predicted that her departure from the political scene would set off a rampage of candidates looking to replace her.
“It’s just time for people to start making their plans,” Hutchison said. “Now it’s time for a new person.”
Likely Republican contenders to succeed her include Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert, state Sen. Florence Shapiro of Plano, Railroad Commissioners Elizabeth Ames Jones and Michael Williams, Weatherford car dealer Roger Williams, and Ted Cruz, a former Texas solicitor general and candidate for state attorney general.
Sound off, Texans: Who’s the favorite? Heard a lot of excitement for Williams on Twitter today after the news about KBH first broke. Via his campaign website, here he is on big government and health-care reform.
Update: A source familiar with Texas politics handicaps the race thusly:
The most amazing thing here is the level of talent that will be competing for this seat. There are several GOP candidates who are viable and would be good to great senators if elected.
Inside track – Lt Gov David Dewhurst. He’s a billionaire, so he can fund the race and defend the seat, and he holds what is actually the most powerful post in Texas government, so he has been collecting chits on this run for years.
Track 2 – AG Greg Abbott. The grassroots and Tea Parties adore Abbott. He has championed the anti-ObamaCare lawsuit, and is one of Texas’ absolute best stump speakers. He has also led a crackdown on deadbeat dads, which has earned him a lot of support in the middle.
Track 3 – Roger Williams. Former Texas Secretary of State, and he chaired the state Victory effort in 2008, raising $5 million in a couple of months. He’s wealthy, sharp, and may have the most experienced campaign talent on his side.
Track 4 – Michael Williams, Elizabeth Ames Jones, state Sen. Dan Patrick, former solicitor general Ted Cruz. Williams and Jones are both on the Railroad Commission, Williams has major grassroots support and is mindblowingly good at stump speeches, Patrick has a major Houston radio show and is very media savvy and well liked, Jones has money and some major backers of her own. Cruz is a bit of a dark horse (as is Patrick) but the grassroots love him and he’s also great on the stump. None of these candidates are bad candidates. All have held or currently hold major offices.
It will be a fascinating race to watch. There may be 20-25 candidates total on the GOP side, compared to 2 or 3 on the D side, with former Houston mayor Bill White leading that field. He was a terrible candidate for governor, no reason to think he’ll be any better running for Senate. The GOP keeps the seat, and chances are, gets a more conservative senator.
The Super Bowl this year should be in Green Bay or Pittsburgh. Based on MLB rules, I suppose the NFL would have to use the previous year's Pro Bowl (ugh) to choose the home team if they followed baseball's lead.
I understand the business aspects of the Super Bowl—it's only one day that provides at least a week of potential money for the host city. You need a city that has enough activities to keep people amused before the game. You need a place with decent weather (oops). You need a stadium that holds a lot of revenue (I mean people). You need a game committee willing to give the NFL whatever they demand to get the game (tickets, hotels, drinks, tax exemptions, control of the stadium and more).
However, shouldn't the home town of one of the teams that made it to the championship reap the alleged benefits? Granted, the planning for Super Bowl XLV started eons ago, but seriously, it's a football game. Every NFL team has a stadium, or they wouldn't have home games. They would have two weeks notice to get ready. The home team would be home and the away team would have to deal with the weather/location/problems of the host city.
Call me bitter, but it annoys me that Jerry Jones is making a bucket of money after putting an atrocious team on the field this year. Dallas has received a black eye for its weather, as if we have any control over the weather. Arlington is probably very annoyed every time Dallas is mentioned, since they sold their souls to have the stadium as a blight on their skyline (sic).
So, I'll be watching because it's a national requirement. I won't be at the stadium because I won't give up a couple of mortgage payments on tickets to one game between two teams I don't follow. (I'm also not stupid enough to pay $200 to watch TV standing in a parking lot).
Welcome to the Metroplex, to all the Packers and Steelers fans. I'm sorry you had to travel so far to see your teams in a championship.

1. Time - Nothing says " I love you " like making time to be with someone. Your time and attention are the greatest gifts you have to offer. Be present and attentive to their every need and whim. For a single day (surly you can skip the bowling tournament and the world will not fall apart) give them your undivided attention. Shut-off the phone, the tv, and the computer.
2. Kisses, kisses and more kisses - Particularly for those in long term relationships. Kiss your partner passionatly like you did when you were first dating. Remind him/her they still ignite a flame in your soul.
3. Massage - touch is one of the most powerful ways to show love. Warm up those hands and get to caressing your baby. Besides who knows where this may lead.
4. Write it down - Spend a few minutes writing your partner a love note. Outline for them all of the things you love most about them. This may require a few minutes to sit down and do but it will means so much more than a ten dollar box of chocolates you bought at the drug store on your way home from work.
5. Take Care of him/her in some special or unique way- Iron a shirt, take out the trash, do the dishes,cook dinner,take the kids to school,walk the dog, start the car on a cold day. Something that you know that your partner would otherwise have to do. Just take care of it for them. Show them that their well-being is important to you. This is applicable for husband and wives alike.
6. Sweet Lovings - Take your partner in a warm embrace and whisper " I love you" in his or her ear.
7. Play their favorite love song - You should know it. If not find out - this is just another important way you can show you care.
8. Wear the (fill-in-the-blank) - they bought you. Even if you don't really like it. It's a small sacrifice to show your level of devotion.
9. Call - Call your partner just to say. " I was thinking of you"
10 Email, text or Im a special message to your sweetie - something you know will touch his/her heart.
Everyone wants to feel loved. There are no exceptions. In todays busy world we often get so caught up in the fast-pace of our hurried lives, we have little time for much else. These tips are things money can't buy - gifts truly from the heart. Some people want the material tokens as well, and that is ok too, but coupled with one or two of the above you have all the makings of a Valentines Day neither of you are likely to forget. How about for one day you give them what they truly need and deserve? Love is one of the most powerful forces in the universe. Share it with the one who shares your life. Have a Blessed Valentines Day!
