Will Texas attorney general Greg Abbott run for governor?
There's a lot of talk in the political world that Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott is positioning himself to run for governor in 2014.
Former Lt. Governor Abel Maldonado confirmed Monday he will run for governor in 2014, with the local Republican saying among his top priorities will be fighting to repeal the state's controversial Public Safety Realignment Act, aimed at reducing the state prison population by turning responsibility for some prisoners over to counties.
