Yup, kicking off the Totescast is Chron author Richard Whittaker’s deconstruction of the race for the governor’s mansion. Is Tuesday going to be another good hair day for Rick Perry?

Closer to home, we pore over the finances of groups supporting and opposing Prop 1, the city’s transportation bond. And speaking of whiplash traffic, we look at the reinstatement and lightning fast re-termination of Austin cop Leonardo Quintana. Jordan Smith and Wells Dunbar are your totally awesome hosts.
