...push her candidacy, the Hutchison camp has released a poll by Voter Consumer Research showing her defeating Governor Perry 55% to 31%. Perry's pollster, Michael Baselice, scoffs at the numbers, telling the Houston Chronicle, "He beats her like a drum."

In the words of Obama, "Yes, we can." Scott A. Giordano...
