He said he wasn't sure what tipped her thinking. 'I know it was an intensely personal decision.'
Even the timing of Ms. Hutchison's announcement Friday night raised questions. It came on the eve of Comptroller Carole Keeton Strayhorn's announcement that she would challenge the governor and after word spread that Mr. Perry would call the Legislature into a special session to address Texas' school finance system.
If those events sped up her timetable, advisers weren't conceding it."
