Red-hot Republican primary is shaping up

HoustonChronicle.com - Red-hot Republican primary is shaping up: "Kicking off what may turn out to be the most contentious Republican primary season in Texas history, two GOP candidates launched campaigns for comptroller and agriculture commissioner Thursday.

The wild ride on the Republican side hinges on whether U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison decides to challenge Gov. Rick Perry or retire from office. Perry already has announced he will seek re-election, while Hutchison is waiting to say what she will do.

'This will be, if Kay Bailey Hutchison decides to run for governor, the most hotly contested, across-the-board primary we've ever had in Texas,' said former Railroad Commissioner Kent Hance, who was in a four-way contest for the GOP gubernatorial nomination in 1990."
