I was wondering about that too! Enter stage left Tuesday #2

No. She could only file for one race. She chose senate. Texas had a primary for every partisan seat yesterday. . LeftInTX Yesterday #23

I thought you could run for two seats in texas...lloyd Benson was on for VP and senator JT45242 20 hrs ago #39

Senators only run for office every six years. It's not unusual for them to run for higher office on off years. LeftInTX 12 hrs ago #46

In 1988 he was on the ballot for both Senate and VP (double checked) JT45242 10 hrs ago #47

VP is an appointed position. LBJ did not participate in a 1960 presidential primary. LeftInTX 8 hrs ago #49

No spoilers, Democrats have no business being sore losers. Pisces Yesterday #17

Absolutely not. Why in the world should the vote be divided in a state where Dems haven't won a senate seat in decades? themaguffin 16 hrs ago #42

Even if she ran as an Independent it would only split our vote and hand the seat to the GOP. Towlie 13 hrs ago #45

Candidate for President in 2028 or VP Pick ? thought crime Yesterday #33

I doubt either. She may run for POTUS in 2028, but will have little chance (IMHO) of winning the Dem nomination. Celerity 23 hrs ago #36

Good analysis; you're probably right as usual. thought crime 14 hrs ago #43

IMHO Crockett should have run for re-election in either her current district (TX-30) or where her home is now drawn (TX- Celerity 14 hrs ago #44
