2006 independent gubernatorial candidate Kinky Friedman is apparently seriously considering seeking the 2010 Democratic nomination for said office. Given that I can’t think of a Democrat with any significant statewide stature off the top of my head (and drubbings at the hands of Rick Perry and John Cornyn generally don’t demonstrate “stature” in my book) Friedman may very well be the instant front-runner for the nomination.

WOOT! Some of the things Kinky says are a bit outlandish and he leans libertarian as far as I can tell, but I like him anyway. Kind of you like you, Chris, now that I think about it. :)
I saw him once on Red Eye (back when I had time to devote to daily TV viewing) and thought he was pretty interesting, at least. He’d probably get my vote over Kay Bailey Hutchison or Rick Perry.
