Weekly poll wrap-up

Last week's poll question was, “which Texas politician has in reality been tragically abducted, and secretly replaced by an alien from outer space?”

Apparently it is a rule that any time Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst (R-On Top of the Horse, If Things Go Exactly According To Plan) is included on a Letters From Texas weekly poll, Dewhurst wins it, and he did indeed win his one with 33%. Regulars will recall that he also won the poll in which he was favored to be stuck with on a desert island for a week. Apparently you people like being stuck on islands with aliens from outer space.

However, in a solid “style (almost) over substance" indicator, state Senator Dan Patrick (R-Uranus) came in slightly behind with 29%. House Speaker Tom Craddick (R-Pluto) came in third with 11%, state Representative Phil King (R-The Simpson’s) was fourth with 18%, and state Senator Kip Averitt (R-Crawford, Gateway to Waco, and Really Bad T-shirts) and state Representative Corbin Van Arsdale (R-Who Cares) shared 3% apiece.

Averitt shouldn’t have even been included in this poll at all, but since he’s not strange enough to otherwise warrant mention on a screwed up website like this, I thought I’d throw him in just for grins.

As always, this week’s poll is on top of the right hand sidebar. Vote on it there, and comment on it here.
