Six anti-voucher Texas House Republicans have somehow escaped Gov. Greg Abbott endorsing their opponents. No word from Strangeabbott on why. The Trib adds that Abbott's endorsement carries more weight than AG Kenny Boy Paxton's impeachement-related endorsements.
Speaking of that, SocraticGadfly talked about dueling endorsements in cases in the same race where Abbott endorses one candidate and Paxton another.
Tricky Ricky Perry personally stumped for Speaker Dade Phelan. Was the old Dadester in that much trouble? We'll find out tonight. That said, it's never a good sign when the cliched "embattled" is part of the lede. At the Monthly, Chris Hooks has more on Phelan's struggles versus the wingnuts-squared of today's Texas GOP. Sidebar: Not for the first time, Chris Hooks WRONGLY calls anti-abortion Joe Straus a "moderate Republican." As I told him on Twitter, it's: not true; contributes to Overton Window shifting; brings Hooks' credibility into question. (That said, he's a Green-hater of some standing.)
SocraticGadfly made early primary predictions for his area.
