— Ace Good news?
Uhhhh... Not in the sense that she's no longer subject to intraparty discipline.
That said, I don't expect her to suddenly become worse or anything. But she also doesn't have any particular reason to hew to right.
She actually dates the decision to 2006-- which just might be true, maybe. Some people do tire of the bloodsport of politics.
“I have known since 2006 that I wouldn’t seek another term,” the senator said in a telephone interview. “I wanted to announce it on my own terms and in my own way."

Has the term "Pre-emptive" been approved for use by Senator Bob Casey? If not, I denounce you, and myself for typing it.

“Now it’s time for a new person.”
I think we should applaud any incumbent who calls it quits in this manner before they are dumped in an election.
It shows they appreciate the need for fresh ideas.
Snark is fun. But let's give credit where it is due here. She's allowing plenty of time for a good candidate from the Right to have be found and to develop his or her message.

From the Williams for Texas site
March 31 2010
“On December 16, 2008, I began my campaign for the U.S. Senate to succeed Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison, as she had pledged to resign her seat. Today, Senator Hutchison announced she will not be resigning her seat in the U.S. Senate.

"Last night, the president said what he should have said on Saturday," Beck said. "A leader says that on Day 1. But it is truly better late than never. This is probably the best speech he has ever given, and with all sincerity, thank you Mr. President, for becoming the president of the United States of America last night."

Dear concerned citizen,
John Bolton's mustache creates a hostile atmosphere in which to indulge the grievances of the high-paid flunkies of the blood-soaked psychopaths that make up most of the UN.
And don't even get me started on what it did to Gabby last week.
Strength through tears and supplication,

Like I said in the last thread. I think Rupert Murdoch sent the "we surrender" memo to all who work for him. I'm hoping there's an expiration date on it or else we may be truly boned.
Posted by: Soona at January 13, 2011 01:01 PM (YFuNv)
looking over at the top headlines, I'm pretty sure Peter Fonda is still alive. All that happened is that he found a dead body in a car.
Who are you to say it wasn't his dead body?

Indeed. Which makes me think she won't go Voinovich on us. As Williams has observed, she'd been saying this for some time.
I wonder if she's doing this now so as to give a preferred challenger a leg up. Perry would be the one who would benefit from a late announcement.

Beck comes in with a pre-existing obsession with peacefulness—a way-beyond-rational attachment to the idea of everyone just chillin'. So he's a sucker for anything that speaks that language, even if it's a monster.
Of all the righties chumping themselves right now, Beck's motivation is the least ugly. But still. Self-chumped.

She did want to be Texas' Guv for at least four years, so the sport couldn't have been too bad. Maybe she wanted to stay closer to home but serving in the State Legislature was too much of a humiliating step down.
Either way, Texas will be primed for a more conservative member who, rather than waiting in the shadows and generally being a bit of a tease, will step forward and really lead.
