Who Has the Best Chance to Hold the Texas Senate Seat for the GOP?

[Kevin_Kennedy]

I don’t think it is any of the announced candidates.

It’s a member of the Texas congressional delegation, whose members are worried about whether any of the wannabes can hold the seat against a Democrat.

–This candidate has a large, enthusiastic constituency that goes beyond the boundaries of his district and his state.
–This candidate won’t have to spend a nickel on name ID.
–This candidate has $2,742,426 cash on hand.
–This candidate is totally in touch with the GOP base, as it evolves further and further to the right.
–This candidate has demonstrated an amazing ability to raise money on the Internet: He raised $4.2 million in a single day during his campaign for president (albeit short of his goal of $10 million).

Bush could run. That would be entertaining.

Ron Paul?

I was right. Does he want to run? He's getting up there.

No. And it's unlikely he would win a Senate race.
