From Quorum Report:

Calls for grassroots to dissuade her from governor's race

The following email from Dallas County Republican Chairman Nate Crain is flying through cyberspace today.

Dear Fellow Republican County Chairman:

I am writing to encourage you to let Senator Hutchison know your opposition to her running for Governor.

In recent weeks, the tone of the Hutchison campaign has changed dramatically.Republican County Chairman and Republican Elected officials have been treated in a shameful and disappointing manner.

Chairwoman Sue Brannon shared a story with several newspapers about a conversation that she and Senator Hutchison had. The Hutchison campaign denied that the conversation took place.

Get ready to rumble. Boy it's something for one repuke to call another repuke rude, since they have such a low bar to civility to begin with.

Har har har:

Hutchison campaign manager Terry Sullivan said Crain's e-mail is part of an orchestrated effort by Perry's campaign to use a few vocal supporters to shore up his support.

Sullivan said Hutchison is more interested in seeing the Legislature accomplish something about property tax reform and public school finance than in discussing a possible race for governor.

"It's embarrassing that the governor's office is playing politics with this instead of leading on important issues," Sullivan said. "Obviously, he is more concerned about what is good for his campaign than what is good for the people of Texas."
