Kay Bailey Hutchison Plays Some Trump Cards

|

Take a look at the “statewide leadership team” she released over the weekend.  You’ll immediately note Robert Rowling, whom Governor Perry appointed to the chairmanship of the UT Board of Regents (and whose Omni Hotels just bought a 50% share of Bob’s). You might pass over Louis Beecherl, but don’t: he’s the most influential GOP businessman in Dallas. And you’ll note three sitting members of Congress from Dallas-Fort Worth who don’t seem to have any problem endorsing a primary candidate: Kay Granger, Michael Burgess, and Kenny Marchant.

UPDATE: KBH’s people seem to have taken the list down off her website. Hmmm. Perhaps someone was on it who wasn’t supposed to be?
