Burnt Orange Report

whatever happened to john sharp? is he going to run for governor or not? and has anyone heard what paul hobby is doing these days?

They are probably supporting Kinky Friedman like the rest of us.

Dude, Dobbs just used an emoticon. Anyone else find that hilarious? LOL, ROFL, LMAO can only be next.

Dobbs, you the man. I've been waiting to hear who was lining up for the "power behind the throne" spot, sounds like Mr. Buzbee is a helluva a guy.

Good to see you back,

bk

I know of Buzbee. He was in charge of our Senate District during the last Democratic Convention in Houston. He is incredibly dynamic. He is a great speaker, and makes a great appearance. I hear that he has a beautiful family. I would definitely support him and I think that if people got to know him they would be really excited.

This is Charles Soechting, I hope that all of you are doing well. First, Tony is not only smart, articulate, but also a fighter. The ticket is coming together. Candidates have been holding back because they know that their timing is important, notwithstanding how much a lot of would like to see the announcements coming daily. They are coming but at a pace that the candidates think is the right one. Let's talk about the Lt. Gov's race! Dewhurst has been MIA, AWOL(Leadership) and will probably be challenged in the Republican Primary by none other than a rich oilman from Midland--NOT Craddick. Two guesses. Let's all encourage Tony to get into this race--I have. He is smart, articulate, HONEST, blessed with a wonderful family and ready for this race. Democratically, Charles

You mean the Republicans don't like Dewdrop either? Maybe cute and rich just doesn't cut it any more. Some appear to object to Tony Buzbee because he is "unknown" but there really is nothing wrong with an "unknown" who nonetheless has been active politically as Buzbee has.

Dewdrop was unknown. And is still unknown. He was also not really politically active. And it shows.

Charles,

I'm glad you have the time to post on a blog but don't have the time to do an interview with Rumbo.
From what I heard, they called you and Mike half a dozen times but y'all never bothered to return the calls.

As a result, Tina Benkiser of the GOP got a full page interview and photo spread in the fasting growing Hispanic newspaper in this state without equal time for the Democratic Party. That's a great way to treat a base constituency of the Party.

Nice going.

Maybe he was too busy trying to find someone to challenge Chris Bell? Quietly of course.

When the Demo Chair spends time touting a Demo candidate before a primary on a Demo blog...say goodnight Gracie...This party is over.

I missed something? I didn't see him touting a candidate. Only suggesting someone become one.

whats your email adress bro? i can't get my adress book to work. yahoo africa sucks. holler at me if you get a chance. just shoot me an email i guess.
