I like Kinky. I am torn between him and Carol Strayhorn. I don't think that Kinky has the staying power to tear anyone away from voting for Rick Perry. I would like to see him get beat, but I don't think it will happen. The Dems are running Chris Bell and he doesn't stand a chance. My parents are active in local Democratic party politics and they didn't even know who he was.
If there were one Independent candidate, I would say that he or she could stand a good chance of coming out on top. But since there are two, I think that they will steal votes away from each other and the Dems., and that Perry will rise again as the victor.
I like Kinky, but I will probably vote Strayhorn.
