Hutchison confirms she'll stay in Senate, but won't take questions

Slater reports on the ramifications of KBH's decision to serve out her term:

SAN ANTONIO – By staying in the Senate, Kay Bailey Hutchison gives the GOP a boost nationally but scrambles the political landscape in Texas for those hoping to replace her.



Had Hutchison resigned, as she repeatedly vowed to do over the past year, it could have put a safe Republican seat in political jeopardy and forced the GOP to divert money here to keep it.





...and Gillman reports on many still-unanswered questions: Hutchison's 'media availability' didn't include questions

Hutchison left many questions unanswered, largely by refusing to take a single question at an announcement billed as a "media availability" – a term that usually means journalists ask questions and get them answered.
