Combs, Not Yet a Candidate, Flashes Cash
Comptroller Susan Combs isn't a 2014 candidate yet, but she wants you to know that some of the Republican Party's money people are on board and that she's got a pile of cash in her campaign treasury.
Combs has said she's interested in the lieutenant governor's job, if it's open. Earlier this week, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst announced he'll run for U.S. Senate next year. If he loses that race, he'll still be lieutenant governor, but the announcement prompted Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson to confirm his candidacy for the state post ...

After the debacle with compromising state of Texas employees personal data, she really thinks she has a snowball's chance in hell of winning ANY election?!

Pretty ballsy, running for Lt. Gov. after everything that she's had a part in.

Jerry Patterson can do it, Combs, not so much.

Not voting for her

I guess this should convince the Ag. Commissioner that he's not going to the "THE ESTABLISHMENT's" Candidate. They knew that Combs will do as she is told...just as she always has and create no problems for them. To them, Jerry Patterson is a wild cannon who will do what he (not they) thinks is right. They just can not have that...

Combs exposed my name, health records, and other personal details. I am now paying! She "Said" she "would take full responsible". I have not received one cent and a lot of hours, days, weeks, and months of ache. She cannot run her own office; how can she run anything else. She should have been fired like anyone else would have been for running an office like that. Combs is delusional and on an ego trip.

Todd Staples - formed an exploratory committee? Sorry, under Texas law there is no such thing. You have a political committee and you're in. You'd think he would know that - he's been in the House and the Senate. What a moron.

She is still a partially West Texas, San Antonio, Vassar, 09'er. She has given our money to Vally Interfaith, a Marxists organization (twice) and will never get out of the Republican Primary.
She can throw all the money people at us she wants, but all they are doing is buying influence. There ain't enough votes there to elect her and the Tea Party doesn't sell out for money.
By the way, when does the other data breach shoe drop and where is the document with hand written notes about how to handle it that was not turned over in discovery?
