Hutchison's next move could shake up Texas politics
DentonRC.com | News for Denton, Texas | AP: Texas: "In a Texas-size political chess game, Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison plays the role of queen.
She plans to announce this summer whether she'll try to hold her U.S. Senate seat in 2006 or challenge fellow Republican Rick Perry for Texas governor.
'I will make the decision based on what I think is the best thing I could do for Texas,' she said.
In the meantime, a long line of Texas officials and political hopefuls are plotting their next move if her seat opens up and backup plans if she stays put.
'She holds the key,' said U.S. Rep. Henry Bonilla, R-San Antonio.
Bonilla, who wanted Phil Gramm's seat when the former senator retired in 2001, already has announced he'll seek the Senate seat if Hutchison moves on. He plans to run for his House seat if Hutchison stays."
