Wondering what the Texas House is gonna look like after next week? Head on over to QuorumReport's Daily Buzz and take a gander at Kronberg's breakdown of the 8 day out reports. If the current Republican powers that be have their way, we'll have a nice chunk of Republicans that are indebted to Speaker Craddick and James Leininger. Throw in the usual suspects of Bob Perry, old school Republicans at ART, and Texans desperately looking for torts to reform, and it's obvious there's a push to keep the status quo in the Legislature.
Parent PAC and their fiesty soccer moms flexed their collective muscle during the primaries, and there's a push to stem that tide by courting Republicans that will dance with the ones that brung 'em (that's 3 metaphors in 1 sentence). What's that mean? It means that if you haven't already, you had better get off your ass and vote, lest we deal with one more session of nonsense legislation coupled with motions to show the speaker voting aye.
