I am sick and tired of the usual political types, Kinky seems to have a lot of my interests in his campaign "promises". Of course, he could also be the typical politician, but I would rather take a chance on him than any of the other hopefuls. I am also going to vote for whoever is NOT in office right now, and I dont care what political affiliation they are. The ones in office are not getting things done. I think that we as voters need to send a message to Washington that we are the ones really in charge, and if you dont listen to what WE want, instead of listening to what lobbyists want... the voters will get your *** out of there.

"its not kinky friedman vs rick perry, its kinky vs apathey"
jesse ventura was down 20% in popular polls before his governor election and he won, kinky is only down like 11%

Perry has a hefty lead on all canidates unfortunatly, Strayhorn, Bell are there a distant 2nd and 3rd and poor Kinky in the rear with 15 % of the votes. Lets hope come election day something great happens and get Perry out of there.
It is time for Texas to get Kinky.
Bell is a boring, dull, and lifeless Dem.
And why the hell would I want one tough Grandma as my Gov. she scares me. Reminds of an Aunt that was mean to me as a kid. HAHA but true

So Kinky is just the f-u vote for you all, or do you actually think he's capable? My wife and I listened to him in one of the gubernatorial debates, and he sounded like a complete moron ... His responses were way out-there and incoherent, and didn't really address the questions posed.

Do you really think the office of Governor is better with someone who has NO political know how? How do you think he is going to work with all the other political people he has to work with on a daily basis to get things done? Running the state isn't a 1 man job.

Gambling being legal would be nice, but thats not really an issue that effects many people.
I thought the smoking ban was stupid at first, but after going to Austin and being able to go to a bar and come home without smelling like an ashtray was so nice. Made me wish such a thing exsisted in Houston.
"Why not?" just seems like a horrible reason to vote for a governor, and one I don't see working.

and historically a governor isnt going to run texas into the ground because after the civil war texas didnt want a strong executive like the north's, so they made the legislative strong instead... if one of his plans is too "radical" theyll just vote it down...
