Run, Wendy Davis! Run! Run for TX-33! You could totally win!

Oh, I would pay good money* to have Wendy Davis in Congress:

Rep. Marc Veasey is also 44, on his second term, has a decent state legislative history (in terms of responsibilities and authority), and has a solidly Democratic district.  Speaking as a partisan Republican hack, I would so absolutely enjoy having a washed-up pro-abortion fanatic replace a young African-American dude in TX-33: you want to blight the Other Side’s careers as early as you can possibly manage it.  It’s just more efficient that way.

*Well, I wouldn’t, because I wouldn’t pay my own money, and it’s wicked to take other people’s money without their permission.

RedState Interview: Michael Williams (R CAND, TX-33 PRI).

Michael Williams was formerly running in the Texas Senate primary, but has switched over to the House race in light of news that his home town is now going to be smack dab in the middle of one of the four new House seats assigned to Texas because of the last Census.  We talked about that, and about sand lizards, and a few other things:

Michael’s main campaign site is here: he also has Bowtie Patriots, which is more Tea Party-centric.  Check them both out.

Michael Williams to switch to TX-33 race?

Very possibly: the proposed district includes Arlington, which is where Michael Williams lives, and it would certainly help resolve the embarrassment-of-riches problem that Texas conservatives are having with regard to the upcoming Senate race. The key will be whether the proposed congressional maps go through or not… and let us simply say that the new Texas redistricting maps are interesting.

Well, hey, Illinois.

Still: no secret that I – and RedState – like Michael, or that we would all breathe a happy sigh of relief if we didn’t actually have to choose between him and Ted Cruz for TX-SEN.  Michael is a good guy who is pretty strong on energy policy: having him in the House in 2013 would be fantastic, particularly if it’s in conjunction with a Republican Senate and/or White House.  Guess we’ll see how that turns out.
