This may be the most concrete step she’s ever taken towards actually running for Governor.
U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison may be waffling about when to give up her powerful job, but a sign came this month that she’s serious about leaving the nation’s capital to focus on her run for Texas governor: a “sold” sign outside her suburban Washington home.
Tax records show that her 4,300-square-foot house in McLean, Va., sold for $1.4 million on Oct. 2.
That’s about $170,000 less than she and her husband, Ray Hutchison, paid for it in 2006 and nearly $400,000 less than the original asking price in August 2008.
I have long been skeptical about KBH’s oft-stated commitment to resign her seat and run for Governor – Lord knows, she makes it oh so easy – but maybe she really is about to prove me wrong. I still won’t believe it till I see it, but I suppose this makes it likelier that I will actually see it.
