Biden Pick Opens Way for Texas Senior Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison For McCain VP.
Scorned Clinton Women Could Support Hutchison as VP.
If Texans were drafting their fantasy football team, Republican U.S. Sen. Bailey Hutchison would be the No. 1 pick, and others would sit on the bench for the first few selections.
Looking two years into the future, a poll showed that Ms. Hutchinson is more popular than Gov. Rick Perry and that either of them could beat potential Democratic candidates in a governor’s race.
No politician won a majority of likely voters. But, of all likely voters, Ms. Hutchinson was favored by 35 percent nearly double the next in line.
In January 2007 Hutchison told the Washington Times while she would not promote herself for Vice President she said “I can’t imagine that I would say no.”
Her biggest liability her age has been tamped down by Joe Biden’s picked as Obama’s VP who is also 65 years old and elevated her because his appointment has scorned already unhappy Hillary Clinton women voters, and generally women everywhere especially the unaffiliated.
Hutchinson is no pansy and she could handle Biden handily in their VP debate while putting him in the untenable place of being an ugly mean guy picking on a woman.
Obama toyed with Waco, Texas Congressman Chet Edwards before rejecting him in favor of Biden. Edwards could deliver Texas with 34 electors is a likely GOP win and would be solidly so with Hutchinson. But she could pull back New Mexico that is now leaning toward Obama with its 5 electors and erasing half of Obama’s narrow 10 elector lead.
What I am saying is that after doodling and researching the idea I agree with Dick Morris Texas Senior Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson could be the nail in Obama’s self constructed political coffin.

I agree. It would really throw a wrench in the Obama campaign and the Democratic Party’s push for unity. Hutchison is pretty much pro-choice, but overall very conservative. She could satisfy the base of the GOP and get more Hillary supporters to come on board.
