Can't even pick a side. DANTE said that the worst part of hell was for those who don't take a stand.

MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY Still 'Measuring' TX Gov Run BUT NYT INTERVIEW SUGGESTS ... EH, NAH
Matthew McConaughey says he's still not sure if he'll run for Governor of Texas -- heavily suggesting it's NOT in the cards for him, considering how little leg work he's done thus far.
The actor did a wide-ranging interview with the NYT's Kara Swisher for a recent episode of her 'Sway' podcast ... and it's pretty astounding how little Matt knows about current issues, and how unwilling he seems to be in committing to one side of the aisle or another ... or even expressing a clear cut, definitive view of what he considers right or wrong. .
The one thing he did clarify -- after constant (and much-needed) follow-up questions from Swisher on where he landed/what he's going to do -- is that he's woefully unprepared for a serious gov run in the Lone Star State ... as he's only in the consulting phase right now.
Matt says he hasn't started forming committees, conducting polls or much of anything else yet that comes with getting a legit campaign started and rolling. Apparently, he's still just talking to certain people about the idea of running ... and the election is just a year away. .

all those things a declared candidate does to run in an election 12 months from now?

he might be the best option. But what about Cecile Richards? Does she still live in Texas?

electoral suicide in TX.
