If we can remember back to the 2006 Texas Gubernatorial campaign, Marshal Grover was seriously weighing his options about running for governor of the Lone Star State. In the end, he decided against it, largely because of tax problems stemming from a 1997 accounting error. He later endorsed Kinky Friedman in October of '06.
Now, four years later, and with his tax problems behind him, Grover might actually be making good on his decision to run. In an interview with the El Paso Times, Fred the Wonder Horse mentioned that his long time colleague might be seriously weighing his options:
"I'm pretty darn sure he's thinking about it. He aint happy about Perry, he aint happy about Hutchison, and he sure as heck aint happy about any of the other candidates."
Although Wonder Horse couldn't give a definite answer, he expected an announcement within the next few months. This makes sense, as the Texas Muppet Party has been on the rise, voting in larger numbers in the last few elections, and gaining traction with their message of positivity. In fact, the Muppets are quickly becoming the fourth largest minority group in the state of Texas. Analysts predict that within the next 20 years, the number of Muppets in the state could reach as high as 3%.
Rest assured that, if Marshal Grover were to make a serious run for the governorship, he would have strong support, especially in the rural areas where law and order are chief priorities. And with his hard stances on immigration, Grover could appeal to a wide array of conservatives disenfranchised by the current crop of Republican candidates.
Grover owns a ranch somewhere in East Texas, making questions of his residency moot. More news at it develops.
