(10-28) 10:17 PDT Austin, Texas (AP) --

Former Vice President Dick Cheney will throw his support behind U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison's campaign for Texas governor.

Hutchison's campaign confirmed Wednesday that Cheney will endorse the Texas Republican's March primary challenge of Gov. Rick Perry at a fundraiser next month.

Campaign spokeswoman Jennifer Baker says details are still being worked out, but Cheney is scheduled to appear at a Nov. 17 fundraiser and campaign event in Houston.

The former vice president is popular with conservative activists and could help Hutchison bolster support among them.

I think ghostdog is closer to the truth here about Texans. These are very scary folks. I say this as someone who has lived among them for my entire life and often feel as if I am viewing a separate species. I've always thought the heat may play a factor in the craziness quotient here.

This endorsement WILL sway a few voters over to Kay. However, what she really needs is for Dems to cross over and vote against Rick in substantial numbers.

I was at a fundraiser for Debra Medina this afternoon, medinafortexas.com and she's definitely doing her level best to be the next gov.

Abolishing property taxes is the main plank that really resonants with me.

She will be on with AJ in the near future, if not tomorrow.

Property taxes on a mans home is the most onerous tax of all.

It ensures that you do not own but rather are renting from the state.

Exactly Debra's point. To the letter.
