"Nice" that Houston area ConservaDem Lizzle Fletcher, fresh off mouth-breathing "drill baby drill" now thinks that price gouging isn't a real issue, even though gasoline prices are higher today than in 2008 when oil got over $140 a barrle. Of course, she's doing Houston Big Oil's bidding. Shock me.
Kenny Boy Paxton "versus" John Cornyn. First, it's "interesting" that Cornyn only now considers Paxton's lingering state indictments an "embarrassment." Is he afraid that, if Kenny Boy wins the AG runoff, they'll be that much of a boat anchor? Is he afraid a shoe is about to drop on the FBI investigation? Second, it's also "interesting" that Kenny Boy claims Big John represents "the Bush wing," when there's been no such thing in Texas for years. Pee Bush himself is a Trump lapdog, and Big John's been Havana Ted Cruz's lapdog for years.

Off the Kuff sees some positive signs in the latest poll of the Governor's race. (Your blog editor sees this more as grasping at straws; Strangeabbott is underwater on approval ratings due to a mix of new anti-incumbent feelings and still not reconciling the GOP's wingnuts squared. I'll eat Kuff's hat if Beto finishes within 5 percentage points.)
