Senator Hutchison’s biggest challenge is going to be selling her, “Texas can do better” theme when the state is widely considered a model other governors should aspire to.
And as the endorsements stack up against her, will she risk costing taxpayers $30 million dollars to fill her seat in a special election? ... Especially as her campaign continues to falter?
