SocraticGadfly: Helen Giddings for Dallas County Judge?

Helen Giddings for Dallas County Judge?

She says she’s interested. And, more interestingly, she says she’s been approached.

Assuming that was by Dallas County Democratic leaders, it would mean that they’re worried about incumbent Jim Foster’s ability, as well as the possibility that a John Wiley Price-controlled sockpuppet could win the nomination but lose the general election.

Giddings, who has a reputation for bipartisanship in the Lege down in Austin, would be tough for the GOP to defeat. She’s never given any indication of being under the control of Price. And, with 16 years, now, in the Lege, she has plenty of experience.

Sounds like a winner to me, if her interest translates into a run.
