Ag Commissioner: We Endorse Hank Gilbert


by: Burnt Orange Report

Thu Feb 18, 2010 at 00:13 AM CST


Our endorsement of Hank Gilbert for Texas Agriculture Commissioner can be summed up in 2 words.

Kinky Friedman. Or Todd Staples. Take your pick.

Gilbert was our 2006 Democratic nominee and we'd like to see him make a second run and win this time. His primary opposition has always been unacceptable for us at Burnt Orange Report, and lest you need reminding, you can review why we will never endorse Kinky Friedman for anything here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, especially here, here, here, here, here, and here.

It's been an interesting year for Hank. He stepped up to the plate to create a race for Governor when it appeared no one strong would bring more than the medium heat. We applaud him for that. He rightfully vacated that race when Bill White stepped in, but exited with an eye raising endorsement and subsequent collateral damage. In the grand scheme of things, these have been minor distractions, but distractions nonetheless towards his most immediate goal- winning the primary.

Hank Gilbert needs your vote to become the Democratic nominee.

Give him your vote and let's move on to a real barnburner of a race against sleazy Todd Staples.
