Kinky in 2010?

It may not be popular with some Democrats, but Kinky Friedman says he's not through with electoral politics but has come to the conclusion that he'll need backing of a major party if he'll have any shot of winning. So he's laying the groundwork for entering the 2010 Democratic gubernatorial primary.

"I consider myself a Democrat in the mold of JFK, [former Texas Gov.] Ann Richards and [journalist] Molly Ivins," Friedman told John Moritz for Sunday's Startlegram. "If God was running as an independent [in 2006], he couldn't have beat Rick Perry."

Kinky, if you run, you've got my support.
