Pauken exits
Tom Pauken dropped out. I'd gotten some flak from friends for not even mentioning Pauken whenever I mentioned the gubernatorial race.
I never really felt like he was running -- and he had no traction -- so I never bothered mentioning him. He had a big fallout with Rick Perry leading to him leaving the Texas Workforce Commission and deciding to run for governor. But he never really articulated a message, especially against Abbott.
Besides that, I heard was that his staff hires were less than stellar, and then he hadn't been great about trusting them anyway. He didn't seem willing to spend much on his own campaign.
With luck he will return to focusing on higher education reform.
