Quite possible... but it is going to be fun to watch as I stated.

From what I read the prosecutor is a judge...

Oh, I agree but there are a quite a few who thinks he walks on water in the
lone star.  I do enjoy getting a chuckle from the things he forgets during the
debates though, so I hope he hangs in there.  Imagine the grand jury waited to
see if Rick was nominated and then pulled the trigger... now THAT would have
been hilarious!!!

Wonder how many felt the same way about GW Bush's DUI and "expungned" coke
conviction or Dick Cheney's two DWI pops.  

In reviewing Texas statistics, DWI seems to be quite popular with the good ol'
boys... or in this case, gal. They lead the nation in deaths resulting from
DWI. Good work boys...
