SocraticGadfly: Does Hutchison know when – or if – she’ll quit Senate?

Does Hutchison know when – or if – she’ll quit Senate?

Between NPR and
the Houston Chronicle, Hutchison sounds so confused as to risk several bits of political fallout.

1. She sounds addled;
2. It makes her new campaign staff sound disarrayed;
3. It makes it look like she’s schwaffling again, like in 2005-06;
4. It makes it look like she hasn’t thought through timing issues at all.

What’s going to happen is something like Waxman-Markey: A “cure” that is a Band-Aid, and a small one at that, and that kicks the problem down the road enough to potentially be worse than doing nothing.
