Yeah, TG, but thimble-wit had Karl Rove behind the curtain pulling the strings (as part of the strategy to take the White House eventually). Will The Rovester be doing this kind of thing re the TX gubernatorial race now?

I fear you're right -- my favorite candidates usually lose, too -- but Kinky has an advantage, publicity-wise, over other non-politicians. He's an entertainer, semi-famous, and (maybe most importantly) very controversial.   

Of course, I hope he doesn't act as a spoiler. But, given his stance on some things like prayer in the school and posting the Ten Commandments on courthouses, he may be a spoiler on both sides of the spectrum. (Somehow, I doubt that he's anti-NRA, either.)
