Roger that

So about two weeks ago I got an email from a gentleman named David Smith, who is the proprietor of a website called Texans for Staubach, as well as the treasurer of a PAC by the same name, whose purpose is:

-To oppose the re-election of Governor Rick Perry
-To oppose the election of U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison to the office of Governor
-To promote the candidacy of Roger Staubach for the Office of the Governor of the State of Texas

I had a brief email correspondence with Smith about this, and told him that while I'm on board with the first two planks in that platform, I'll be supporting a Democratic candidate next November. I have a lot of respect for Roger Staubach, even as a Giants fan, but unless he's about to do a Arlen Specter, I don't foresee voting for him in the event he heeds this call. Nonetheless, I said I'd give this a mention, and so here we are. I don't expect anything to come of this - besides Rick and Kay, the GOP primary has at least two other potential candidates; I don't see how there's the room, or the finances, for a Staubach bid - but there you have it.

UPDATE: Turns out The Rog is a KBH supporter.
