Re:Rick Perry - Mister 39
Had it been a two way race between him and the Democratic candidate, Perry still would have won. So I don't think that that 39% really means that much. On the other hand, Perry is widely disliked. Although Christian conservatives have supported him in the past, it has become clear to them that Perry's political ambitions far outweigh any principles he might hold. After all, his initial support of requiring a cervical cancer vaccine showed to people like me that he can be bribed into doing the right thing even if it pisses off the Christian Right.
Personally, I voted Kinky.

The Kinky angle
Here's some conspiracy fodder for y'all: anyone who's read any of Kinky Friedman's books will recognize the name Rambam. He's a longtime personal friend of the Kinkster, and appears in his books, as one of the few characters who doesn't need a checkup from the neck up. Could this arrest be an attempt to discredit Kinky, who is running for a political office this year? The same office once held by George W Bush: Governor of Texas. I smell a Ratso..!

What about a KinkyWiki?
After all, Kinky Friedman's campaign for Guv'nor of Texas is already rather odd. Someone send Jimmy Wales one of the T-shirts, maybe the one that says "Kinky for Governor: How Hard Could It Be?"

Re:So let me get this straight.......I'm not going to comment on whether his positions seem politically expedient or not. His whole point is "outsider", of course. Your comment about him not having "gathered the necessary voter signatures by now rather than waiting until the last sixty days before the deadline" betrays your ignorance of Texas' ridiculous election law. From Kinky's website:
Texas election law says Friedman will also have to collect 45,540 signatures to get on the 2006 ballot. He will not be able to start gathering signatures until March 8, the day after the state party primary elections, and can only collect signatures from registered Texans who did not vote in any primary. Friedman will have until May 11 to turn the signatures in and qualify for the ballot.
And from the Dallas Morning News:
The campaign is on track to raise $1 million by March to collect more than 45,000 signatures, a brick wall of a hurdle for an independent to get on the ballot. The only man to do it was Sam Houston. But then, Sam didn't have the Internet: 30,000 have signed up at www.kinkyfriedman.com.

Re:Cheap publicity stunt
Let's hope he pulls it out in the primary. Up against this guy, Kinky has a sure win.

Screw this guy - Texans vote Kinky!
This guy sounds pretty wacky. He won't get the Repub nomination against Rick Perry, who is also wacky.
What to do fellow Texans?
Vote for Kinky, 06! -
Kinky Friedman
Yeah, again, let's all support Kinky Friedman for Governor!
Oh, and I'd like to see a tax for stupid tax initiatives.
