I'm afraid these three candidates are going to split the anti-incumbent vote and hand the GOP a landslide, and the Democrats a total meltdown. The problem is that Friedman and Strayhorn don't have the long-term party organizations to make their victory meaningful. Their candidacies are only meaningful in the sense that they rob Bell of more votes than Perry.

Personally, I'd prefer a united opposition.

Thanks Sam Spade. Of course, in a four-candidate race, winning anything over 40% is going to look like a landslide. And if Friedman or Strayhorn could actually pull it off and win the governorship that would be amazing... but of course they don't have the polling numbers to do it.
