@@@@   It has started and boy the Gossips think the race for the GOP nomination for Governor is going to be interesting.  Kay Bailer Hutchison and Rick Perry are putting together their lists of supporters and Kay's looks very impressive.     Some powerful Houstonians are stepping foward to help Kay against Goveror Goodhair who got less then 40% the last time he ran..   Starting with John Nau III as Finance Chair and Pat Oxford in charge of the Senator's organization is a good way to start.  Nau has done this before and certainly knows where the check books are located and Oxford just completed running Senator John McCains campaign.   Add Phil Gramm and about 10 U.S. GOP House members to the group and you have some powerful support.  Three Houston Reps, Brady, Culberson and Poe are part of this group.   Add to this group a very select number of political players from Houston like Drayton McLane, Gary Polland, Penny and John Butler, Pete Coneway,John Connally III,Melvin Dow,Edd Hendee,Ned Holmes and Ed Wulfe.   This is a great list and did we mention Nolan Ryan and Roger Stauback?  Yes, they are on board.   It will be interesting to see Governor Perry's list and will it contain just folks he has appointed to Boards and Commissions.  And note some of Kay's supporters are appointees by the Governor.  Wonder how long they will be kept on the jobs by the Governor.
