No it doesn’t. Damn few things do. Term Limits through Article V is a no-brainer, but it still has to be sold.
I may have made a couple sales in Dallas, though I hoped for more. It’s a start. Rep. Wes Keller from Alaska was one.
And at a bar at the Anatole I ran into Don Huffines, his wife, and one or two of his sons. I found out later that he’s a very successful Dallas real estate developer.
He told me he just beat a twenty year incumbent in a State Senate primary. I asked him how much he spent, and he said his opponent spent $5 million — he spent about half that. I asked him how much he’ll make (his only opposition in the general is a Libertarian) — and one of his sons said about $700 a month. There are 31 Texas State Senators, each representing around 900,000 people.
We kind of hit it off, and I made the pitch for an Article V Term Limits amendment. My hunch is that he’ll do it — it turns out term limits is one of the things he ran on. I sent him a follow up email, and we’ll see.
So before I took off, I said, “Let me tell you something. When I got elected to the State Senate in Alaska, people said, ‘Don’t rock the boat’
“Bullshit.
“Rock the boat.”
I like this guy.
