Chavez-Thompson to file for lt gov

I don't get it. I really don't. Why is a San Antonio labor leader filing to run for lt guv?

She'll be competing with Ronnie Earle, who should have his liberal populist base out of Austin pretty well locked up and Katz, who says he is going to spend $10 million the race.

So, she'll be in a primary where the winner is a very significant underdog to a Republican in a generic year. But not only is this Republican an incumbent, but David Dewhurst has money to spend on his message. Plus, Democrats are likely to face a nationwide headwind.
