One out of three ain't bad? GOP lite guv runoff opponents David Dewhurst and Dan Patrick were on track to meet face-to-face three times this week. But Patrick withdrew from the first in Houston because the event was closed to the press. He then withdrew from the second in Arlington because he was already slated to appear with former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee before supporters in Dallas. The two are confirmed, though, for a joint appearance in Kerrville on Friday.
