P-L-A... A-N-O
I recycle an old high school cheer from Plano Senior High School to bring you DMN reporter Wayne Slater's hot-off-the-presses piece on State Senator Florence Shapiro, R-Plano, and her possible run for U.S. Senate.
AUSTIN -- State Sen. Florence Shapiro of Dallas* is considering setting up an exploratory committee to run for the U.S. Senate in anticipation of Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison running for governor.Read the rest of the piece right here.Mrs. Shapiro was not available for comment but her political consultant, Bryan Eppstein, said people around the state are urging the Dallas Republican to seek the Senate if Mrs. Hutchison resigns or retires. "Right now, she's strongly considering it," said Mr. Eppstein.
He noted that a year ago, former Dallas Cowboy quarterback Roger Staubach was among those touting the idea and volunteered to help if Mrs. Shapiro ran for an open Senate seat.
For another version, the Statesman's Jason Embry, got this item up on the paper's blog earlier in the day.
*Deep down, Wayne meant Plano. Go Wildcats.
Your high school cheer spelled it "Plaano"? That sounds vaguely Dutch.
Which would explain the permissive attitudes toward drug use. ;)
