I missed the Texas gubernatorial debate last night … then I caught the last two thirds of it on C-SPAN. Unfortunately, the two biggest pro-poker candidates, Kinky Friedman and Carole Keeton Strayhorn, gave two of the more lackluster performances. It was clear that Strayhorn is no Ann Richards, and Kinky is no Jesse Ventura.
Anyhow, before I saw the actual debate, Lavigne in Austin was kind enough to fill me in on what I\’d be seeing, particularly as it relates to poker:
cool. you didn\’t miss much, but kinky did mention legalizing texas hold\’em. otherwise he came off as unknowledgable as the rest of them did boring.
So long road row to hoe. But is cynicism becoming the enemy?
