Hutchison Begins 2010 Campaign With A Tour Of South Texas

Typically, in an election year, U.S. Senators not up for re-election defer to their colleagues and down-ballot candidates by staying out of the spotlight and not taking up media attention from other candidates.

Of course, U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison has never been one for following the rules.

This year, she’s giving fellow Republicans a swift slap in the face with a notebook by touring around the state and diverting media attention from the current election cycle.

Of course, as a sitting senator, she can pretend it is official business, although it looks a lot more like a campaign swing:

The trip will include a visit to a border patrol checkpoint in Sarita, a nuclear plant tour in Wadsworth, and a bunch of Chamber of Commerce events in different cities.

Hutchison even had the audacity to have a special logo created for the trip.
