My take on the gubernatorial race is that none of the challengers are notable enough to take out Abbott. I could be entirely out of touch with what Texas Republicans think, but I don't think they are that mad at Abbott that they would want to replace him with Huffines or West.

West sure does like getting his ass handed to him, doesn't he?

How many votes do you think Rick Perry will get here?

Here in East Texas, there are signs and billboards for Huffines everywhere, and I've even seen a car drive around with his logo. Would be funny to see all of that investment for him to only get 3% in the primary.

It would be even worse if "Rick Perry" beats him.
