Henry Bonilla is "in"
By Jim Dallas
The Houston Chronicle:
U.S. Rep. Henry Bonilla said today he would seek Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison's job if she decides to leave office.
Bonilla, R-San Antonio, made the announcement from Washington during telephone interviews with Lubbock radio stations.
Bonilla, 50, has represented the 23rd District, which includes most of West Texas, for more than a decade.
Hutchison is widely believed to be considering a challenge to Gov. Rick Perry in 2006. Both are Republicans. A Hutchison spokesman had no immediate comment.
"If she makes a decision on her own to move on, then I am in that race, no ifs, ands or buts," Bonilla said.
No comment from me. OK, one. I'd vote for Bobby Bonilla if he decides to run.

That would make that congressional seat on of the targets then with him out of it. God, I would love to take that one, and as icing, Rep. Lamar Smith out as well. I thought the picture on the front page of the Daily Texan today of him walking out of a giant sewer was great... and oh so subtle.
