Patterson is trying to make sure he has a lock on the 2014 victimized white male vote.

Jerry Patterson confirmed Tuesday night that he will run for lieutenant governor in 2014, making that announcement just hours after Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst said he’ll run for U.S. Senate in 2012.
…
“I’m an Aggie, a veteran, a gun owner and a Texan that doesn’t like being told that government knows best,” Patterson said. “I’m not some carefully crafted candidate managed by handlers and consultants. I say what I mean and do what I say. That is my only platform.”
…
Patterson’s national exposure has included the Rush Limbaugh show, the Sean Hannity show, ABC’s Nightline, FOX, CNN, MSNBC, CNBC among others.
