Nellcote did you type that with a straight face, lol
The real question is do dems have a chance. Texas isn't admist the grip of some Cal-EE-forn-AA style crisis (only the democratic party is nationwide) The smart moneys on Perry
Perry's got support from high places, plus a knack for kicking the tar outta Dems at the ballot box ala the 2002 mudslide when he wiped out then media darling Tony "the Dirty" Sanchez, and sent'em packin back to Larado combin his dirty moustache with his dirty money.
Don't get me wrong, Kinkys a true character, a great entertainer, a funny SOB and will definitely be a media darling, but I suspect his popularity won't stray too far away from of the "blue" counties within the state.
If Kinky even manages to be a third party draw at all, then all this adds up to is a desperate, local yokal Perot-ish move to spread the votes and unseat Perry. I suspect he'll probably do more harm to the dems than the repubs.
He's running as an independant and he's not even on the ballot yet, and Texas is traditionally a black or white kinda state, meaning no grey area if ya catch my drift, but who knows these days, we'll see...it's gonna be a hoot to watch though, he's already anounced if elected he'll appoint Willie Nelson as head of the Texas Rangers ~ LOL! |

this from my brother who still lives in texas:
quote:
If you remember Kinky Friedman, the musician, writer, character-type, he's decided to run for governor. Kay Bailey Hutchison is running against the incumbent Rick Perry. Last weekend Kinky was quoted: "Kay Bailey Hutchison is twice the man Rick Perry is." More funny if you get to see them as much as we do here.
kinky's great (and i hate to mention it but he is jewish...) and hell, if jesse ventura could do it, why the hell not kinky???
texas needs to lighten up, nothing's been funny since ann richards left.....

Consider...
Jesse Ventura-Gov
Arnold-Terminator-Gov
Ronald Reagan-Gov, President
IMO, just when you think it can't happen, it could..
This cat could muster the vote in Texas if the right people get behind him.
Of course, the "skeleton factor" will be in full battle mode..
I think his line of "get rid of the woosification of Texas"
is Primo!
Do not over look for a minute he's best buddies with IMUS, who has a good following..
Good TV anyway...

Kinky is running mainly to publicize the issue of innocent people being executed. Texas has the highest rate of executions. |
