SAN MARCOS, Texas (AP) - Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison says a Republican gubernatorial runoff is possible. She's also urging supporters to recruit nontraditional GOP primary voters for the March 2 election.
Hutchison said Monday it doesn't appear that she or Gov. Rick Perry has the backing right now of a majority of Republican voters. That could lead to an April runoff.
GOP activist Debra Medina is also in the race.
Hutchison, addressing the Texas Farm Bureau, urged group members to find five or 10 people to vote in March who might vote Republican in a November general election, but typically not in GOP primaries.
She said she doesn't feel she has to have those voters to beat Perry, but said she wants all the help she can get.
