Senate seats without an incumbent are a huge draw, and Republicans will be swarming for this one, as Texas is a reliably red state in which their party holds every statewide office.

Slater updates:
Remember Kay "Bailout" Hutchison, the spendthrift from evil Washington? How about Rick "Say one thing, do another" Perry - the governor for life whose cronies run Austin? That was so yesterday.

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.

Sen. Ellis jokes he, too, will serve out term
Garrett reports:
State Sen. Rodney Ellis, D-Houston, opened his remarks at a press conference on federal health care legislation this morning with a spoof of U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison's big announcement she's decided to remain in Washington through the end of her term in 2012.

Hutchison opts to keep Senate seat, serve out her term
SAN ANTONIO – Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison said this morning that she will stay in the Senate until her term ends in early 2013, reversing repeated pledges made during her failed campaign for governor that she would resign early. Slater reports.

Kay Bailey Hutchison sensed her bid was doomed
Slater writes about the last days of Hutchison's failed gubernatorial bid:
Traveling with Kay Bailey Hutchison in the final days of the primary campaign, I knew one thing was clear: Hutchison expected to lose the primary but was hoping for a sufficient showing against Rick Perry to somehow win the runoff. Aboard her campaign bus, Hutchison expressed frustration at the trajectory of her campaign (basically, down) and her failure to get the endorsement of former President George W. Bush (he stayed publicly neutral).
