Tom Schieffer, who is a former State Representative, former partner in the Texas Rangers, endorsed G.W. Bush for the offices of both Governor and President. Schieffer says he has always voted the Democratic ballot in Texas primary elections, supported Barack Obama for the 2008 primary and general election, and that he supported Democrat Chris Bell in the 2006 Governor's race.
On June 19th Schieffer attended the first annual dual county Fish Fry Social & Fund Raiser event organized by the Democratic Parties of Collin and Denton County. In remarks to the Democratic audience Schieffer suggested that he can attract not only Democrats, but Independents and even some disaffected moderate Republicans. (BOR extended interview with Tom Schieffer.)

The poll appears to suggest that Perry has a strong lead among core conservatives, while Hutchison has an edge among GOP moderates and liberals. The largest number of GOP voters at 45 percent are undecided.
When asked about the poll, Hutchison spokesman Hans Klingler told the The Austin American-Statesman, “To the extent this poll shows anything, it’s that two-thirds of Texans don’t want Rick Perry for yet another four years. His 39 percent support from (November) 2006 is deteriorating. When Kay Bailey Hutchison begins laying out her vision for the state later this summer, we’re confident that her substance will prevail over his rhetoric.”
When was asked to comment on the poll, Perry spokesman Mark Miner told the The Austin American-Statesman, “After months of criticisms from Washington and tearing down Texas, the senator’s numbers continue to drop. Gov. Perry will continue to talk about creating jobs, cutting taxes, protecting private property right and improving education.”
