A vote against McLeroy would slap down Perry far more than tacitly dropping his nomination would, but only if Republicans vote with the Democrats.

The confirmation of Don McLeroy as chairman of the SBOE should be denied by the Texas Senate. The only knowledge he might convey with any convincing expertise is about brushing and flossing.

Strange things happen at the end of legislative sessions. Someone owes someone else a big favor. Unfortunately that is how things work. Politicians will sell their souls for a vote or a donation. I wonder who paid who off and what they got in return. With respect to the Senate, I wonder what kind of deal (with the devil) they cut with each other to get this to the floor for a vote.
