10. There are four main candidates:

Perry, the incumbent Republican,
Bell, the Democrat,
Strayhorn, the independent,
Friedman, the independent

Perry's been polling about 15% ahead of Bell and Strayhorn, who have been essentially tied. Friedman has been polling behind them.

12. He better look into Medicare....

I am at a polling place. It has been a 30-45 min wait all day long.They just closed the doors and we still have folks waiting to vote. More people were voting today than in the Presidential election.

13. Of helping ensure Perry's re-election?

There's a pretty good chance. Of doing better than a fourth place finish? Not a very good chance.
