AUSTIN, Texas — U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison said Tuesday some people are suggesting that she remain in the Senate as she challenges fellow Republican Rick Perry for governor, instead of resigning this fall as she said would.

Hutchison said on Dallas-Fort Worth radio station WBAP that she's not sure whether she will resign from the Senate before the end of the year or even before the GOP primary in March, when she faces Perry, who is seeking a third full term. She said she wants to remain there long enough to fight President Barack Obama's health care proposal.

"I want to stay and fight with every bone in my body against the government takeover of health care," she said.

In July, Hutchison said she would leave the Senate in the "time frame" of October or November. She has never given a specific date.

Perry spokesman Mark Miner said Hutchison is putting her own political interests ahead of Texas by continuing to waffle on whether she will resign.

3. She wants to stay and fight against ordinary citizens

who would like to live their lives without worrying that they will go bankrupt if they get sick! Bitch!

[Ilsa]

4. She's on govt-run healthcare, but doesn't want to share. Selfish beeyotch. nt

5. Maybe she didn't want to have to pay COBRA prices.

;-)

6. She's delaying for a couple of reasons, none related to HCR

She doesn't want Perry to appoint her replacement pending a special election

And when she resigns determines when the special election will be held.

7. Aha!

Makes sense now. Why does she want to leave the Senate to become Governor? Is she planning to use it as a springboard like Dubya did? She might get some support for a Presidential run.

8. No, I think she just wants to come home and

be governor. She's 66 years old. The earliest she could run for prez would be 2012 and she would 70 if she took office. She's no spring chicken. I think this is how she wants to wrap up her political career.

9. I'd sooner have Charlie Manson as governor as her or Goodhair

[gratuitous]

10. Now there's a legacy

Her last action will be to screw over the taxpayers one more time. No health care for you rabble! You should have decided to be a wealthy Senator, like Kay did. So it's your own damn fault.
