Is Sen. Armbrister Set to Retire?
By Karl-Thomas Musselman
Republican bloggers Chris and Evan say they think it's in the cards.
As Chris mentions, Sem. Armbristor, already facing 3 Republican candidates, still has $1.2 million in the bank. It's a Republican leaning district, but one that even in an open scenario would be competative as there are more swinging voters there than in other equally 'Republican' districts.
Update: After talking with some Austin folks, I'd put a bit more of a damper on considering this speculation. Armbrister has too much money and to many regional coordinators at the moment, giving no real reason to retire. And considering some of his votes in the lege last year, if he was planning on retiring, he could have gotten away with being a more, shall we say, Democratic if he wasn't planning to come back for another term.

Whether its now or later, Armbrister will make a fortune as a lobbyist when he does retire. He's had his finger in a lot of issues, he knows the process as well as anyone does, and he's generally respected and liked on both sides of the aisle.
