Should be an interesting debate and it will be aired live throughout all of Texas, great publicity for the university.

Could someone please ask the good governor why he chose to override the will of the students and turn the athletic fee into a stadium fee?

Considering the venue, I think it is more than an appropriate question.

I am wondering if Hutchinson will even still be in the race by the scheduled time of this debate. I am thinking she will withdraw her candidacy one of these days in the not so distant future...we'll see.

What makes you think she'll withdraw from the race?

I am just hearing this from some folks who are very close to this situation. Hutchinson is having ore challenges than expected in raising $$$$ to fight the Perry camp and the fact that Texas has done well during the current recession...even coming through it with a budget surplus under Perry and the fact that some of her votes in DC have started to hurt her chances with the more conservative element in Texas these days.

Her "out" is that she thinks she needs to stay in the Senate to help Texas fight the Obama initiatives.

This being said, it is all speculation at the moment...nothing more than that, but am hearing it more and more from "insiders" and folks who watch this stuff for a living these days. We'll see...certainly not anywhere near a "done deal"...we'll all just have to see where it goes, but it would not be THAT big of a surprise to see her step away to avoid a bit cat and dog primary fight and spend republican dollars that could be better spent fighting democrats.

We'll see....
