Hutchison to run for senate, not governor

HoustonChronicle.com - Hutchison to run for senate, not governor: "U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison in a stunning surprise Friday dropped her possible challenge to Gov. Rick Perry in next year's Republican primary and announced she will seek re-election.

Hutchison's decision to not enter the governor's race occurred on the eve of Comptroller Carole Keeton Strayhorn's own expected announcement that she will run against Perry."
