Texas still the number one primary race in the nation...

Still champion, according to Chris Cillizza (link). Excerpt follows...

1. Texas Governor (R): The race that Texas Republicans have been waiting years to see now (finally) appears as though it will actually come to pass. Hutchison's announcement that she will resign her Senate seat to focus full time on the Perry primary means she is "all in" for this governor's race. National operatives -- particularly on Hutchison's side -- are already descending on the state in expectation of a primary for the ages. This race has everything: big stakes, two candidates who don't like each other personally, lots of money and good barbecue. The Fix will have to do a lot of on-the-ground reporting on this one over the next year! (Previous ranking: 1)

National operatives... maybe they can learn a thing or two and apply it to other races where the Republicans have lagged...

Hey now, campaign characters. Be nice. I know a lot of you on both sides, so I don't want any overly foul language, personal attacks on anyone other than the candidates themselves, or other party fouls. I will moderate the heck out of you if you start breaking the bounds of civility.
