Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison of TX Retiring

News broke yesterday evening that Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison of Texas (R) will not seek re-election in 2012. She was the first woman Senator in Texas history and has held her seat since 1993. Right now i think there are 3 front runners for this race: Billionaire Lt. Gov David Dewhurst,  Michael Williams Commissioner of the Texas Railroad Commission, and Attorney General Greg Abbott. Williams is the tea party favorite and Dewhurst is the longtime establishment republican. Texas is a conservative state so i don't even have to think about any RINO's having a chance at this seat(or democrats for that matter) so i am calling this race as a primary win for Commissioner Michael Williams with Lt. Gov David Dewhurst coming in second.
