Although we’ve been receiving campaign contribution requests for months, Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison is “formally” announcing her run for Texas Governor this week. Today, she started out in La Marque, goes to Houston and San Antonio today before arriving in the Capitol city. If you’re curious about what she has to say, fear not - she released a video last night that touches on the points she plans to make.

Those points include:

-Better schools

-Lower property taxes

-Toll road “land grabs”

-TX unemployment rate

Not to be outdone, Gov. Perry’s campaign spokesperson, Mark Miner has already responded to Hutchison’s claims and her political history.

If you’re looking for a lighter side to Tom Delay, check out ABC’s next season of “Dancing with the Stars.” Apparently, the fallen Texas lawmaker has a penchant for two-stepping and doesn’t mind proving it to the nation.

According to the Wall Street Journal, “The Texan, who built a reputation out of twisting arms, joins Donny Osmond, actors Melissa Joan Hart, Debi Mazar, model Kathy Ireland, reality TV star Kelly Osbourne and former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Irvin, among others.”
