When Will Hutchison Resign?

Settled as After Dec. 31, 2009

Background: Current speculation is sooner rather than later. The reason: The longer she stays, the greater the chances that she will have to cast votes on controversial issues. It took Rick Perry about a nanosecond after she voted for the bailout bill to come out against it. The Perry camp has made no secret that its strategy in the Republican primary, with its ultraconservative electorate, will be to inform voters of Hutchison’s record in an effort to portray her as not a true conservative. They also are counting on claiming credit for the state’s economy outpacing the national economy. Perry has made economic growth a centerpiece of his governorship.

Hutchison to resign? Not so fast
For months, there's been speculation about whether Kay Bailey Hutchison would resign if she challenges Gov. Rick Perry. And the conventional wisdom -- which is still alive this morning in some news reports -- is that she intends to resign in June, just after the next legislative session. Not so, she tells me.
