Kay Bailey Hutchison

Nope. She ran for Governor of Texas in 2008 and got whupped in the primary. She is not running for the Senate again, and is sliding into the shadows.

Total progressive. Not a chance in hell!

Noway; just another career politician with only self interest in mind

Her husband Ray was involved in a prison development fraud in Hardin Montana. N-Group Securities a development consortium from Texas convinced them to build a prison on speculation that a contract would soon follow. No contract ever materialized, but the developers collected their fees and moved on.

Hutchison's a dark horse, especially if she manages to beat Rick Perry in the primary for Governor next year. I'd say that the odds of that happening are about 50/50.

It would be foolish either way for the party to at least not consider her for VP. She's intelligent, articulate and experienced.

I do not understand this. I dont know half these people.

A great VP candidate. She is a sensible and logical Hillary for the Republicans. She certqainly would have made a bettter choice than Palin. Remember when McCain announced Palin and all the ponderers said "Who?" At least Hutchison has national name recognition

We need a strong GOP candidate to get Obama out of office in 2012. It cannot be a woman.

Underrated. Texas-fatigue might hinder her. . .but she was the 'woman' who should have been on the ticket instead of batsh#t crazy Alaska whore-raiser herself. Hutchinson could be a VP dark-horse runner in a few years.

Sorry, Kay, a great Senator from Texas.  But, this fine woman has no chance of gathering steam or momentum for 2012.

She should have been McCain's VP pick. I think Obama was fated to win this one, but it would have been closer.
