Kinky Friedman suggests Hutchison might be on his side?
mywesttexas.com has a two part interview with Kinky Friedman. Here's a link to the 2nd part, where Kinky says:
MyWestTexas.com: You have received an endorsement from Willie Nelson, correct?That's quite a claim of Friedman to make. Hutchison obviously doesn't like Rick Perry too much, that's no secret.
Kinky: Well, it's kind of hard to get an endorsement from someone when you're not officially on the ballot, but Wilie is supporting me, and we're hoping to be meeting with (former governor) Mark White, Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison, Lamar Smith, Texas Ranger Joaquin Jackson, a whole host of people who have been friendly to the campaign.
But Friedman appears to intimate that Hutchison is already or he thinks might become a Friedman supporter.
I don't see it. Hutchison will cruise to re-election (national political analyst Chuck Todd has Hutchison 31st out of 33rd on a list of possible vulnerable Senate seats), but it would make no sense for her to endorse or otherwise help Kinky Friedman in any way.
Most prominent politicians don't get there by doing stupid things. Helping Kinky would upset quite a bit of KBH's base. I highly doubt KBH will offer support to Kinky.
So, the question is, why is Kinky mentioning a meeting with KBH?
