Sure As the Tickin' of the Clock on the Wall

Congratulations to Mr. Peter Pope, a.k.a. The Editor in Chief of "Magnificent Vista", for correctly naming "Song for the Dumped" by Ben Folds Five as the Saturday Song of the Day.

After the marathon that was the 2008 U.S. Presidential election, it seems difficult to start thinking about the world of campaigns once again, but the battle for who will occupy the Governor's Mansion in Austin after 2010 is shaping up be quite a contest.
With more than a year to go before the Republican gubernatorial primary, the campaign was under way on Saturday as U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison plotted strategy with more than 300 of her supporters and Gov. Rick Perry fired up social conservatives at an anti-abortion rally on the Capitol steps.

Hutchison told reporters that her meeting was the first major organizational step for her challenge to Perry. She said a formal announcement will not occur until this summer, but she said she can be considered a candidate and the race is on.

Kay Bailey or Governor Good Hair?
