Enrique Rangel: Perry May run for the third
The fate of zinnengeschmückte Texas House Speaker Tom Craddick was one of the main stories Capitol. But for a change of the speaker is a race back seat - at least temporarily.
If you miss Dir Rick Perry said last week, journalists, it has a duration of one copy full third term in 2010, although some experts speculate that say, so it has no lame duck, if the legislature is back in session during the next year.
Perry, you may recall, is not good flight prices of the last session.
The Republicans control the legislature, by an overwhelming majority of its mandate to vaccinate sixth class of school girls before the disease causes cancer of the cervix, and some of its main proposals, as a privatization plan of the Texas lottery and evaluation of legislation Caps was nothing.
Another meeting could spoil gross Perry’s Legacy. At the end of his current mandate, it is the longest serving governor in Texas history. He took office in December 2000 during the era gov. George Bush, president resigned.
Although Perry has received only 39 percent of votes in the crowded 2006 gubernatorial race, it is the head after the 2010 election, said Ross Ramsey, editor of Texas Weekly, an online publication, specializes in public policy .
Three other Republican gubernatorial widely mentioned as candidates for the USA are Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison, Lt. Dir David Dewhurst and former Texas Secretary of State Roger Williams.
“For it is precisely now, 20 months before the filing deadline, it considers that the race,” said Ramsey.
But the early announcement also creates problems for Perry.
“The problem with the governor for a long period is that voters remember all the failures,” said Ramsey.
Democrats needed to Perry’s announcement
Given that for the Democrats, they could hardly contain their joy over another Perry.
“Under the Perry plan, our children in local schools are facing a crisis without specific budget because of the coverage of the state mandates and a lack of resources of the State, the scandals have racked the Texas Commission on young, rising tuitions College, amounted to an average tax increase that pricingmany the school, more than a billion dollars in highway funds have been “lost”, while roads Tolls are outsourced to foreign companies and over one million children in Texas have no health insurance, “the Democratic Party of Texas said the chairman Boyd Richie in a lengthy statement. Texas Democrats, we welcome 2010. ”
Two prominent Democrats have already mentioned, former State Comptroller John Sharp and John Ford Hotel, said Ramsey. Monte Ford, a former Lubbock County District Attorney and state senator from Texas Tech chancellor, could not be reached for comment Friday, but we will report later, if a candidate.
