Patrick makes quick transition from insurgent to politician
The Chronicle's Kristen Mack reported yesterday on Dan Patrick's campaign kickoff.
Here are some choice excerpts:
Patrick announced his candidacy on KSEV (700 AM) radio, during his regular afternoon drive-time show. The two-hour block of air time was a paid political advertisement, by the Dan Patrick for Senate campaign.
Harris County Tax Assessor-Collector Paul Bettencourt, Patrick's campaign treasurer, participated in Patrick's broadcast along with other conservative leaders, including physician Steven Hotze, who crusades for conservative Christian values in government. The show was broadcast live from Main Street Crossing in Tomball.

Patrick said he will not take any money from political action committees, though he later qualified that by saying he won't take contributions from "any group or special interest that is against the people."
Who knew Patrick would start sounding like a typical politician (instead of an insurgent) on the very day of his campaign kickoff?
