Inside Texas Politics

WATCH:Newsmakers Segment

We discuss a variety of political topics this week with Ross Ramsey, executive editor of The Texas Tribune. Three Republicans are challenging Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, and all four took part in a televised debate last week. Did their performance guarantee a run-off? Also: Two Texas congressmen — Republican Jeb Hensarlng and Democrat Marc Veasey — talk about the minimum wage after the president's State of the Union Address. And State Sen. John Carona is being challenged by auto dealer Don Huffines, who is spending a lot of money on his campaign.
