WASHINGTON President Barack Obama plans fundraisers for fellow Democrats in Republican-controlled Texas, but his party's nominee for governor said Tuesday he would not join the event scheduled in the city that he used to run.
Former Houston Mayor Bill White told The Associated Press that he couldn't block Obama from supporting his campaign .. also suggested that Obama's visit opens the door for Republican Gov. Rick Perry to continue running against Washington insiders an unwelcomed distraction in the Democrats' best chance to win the governorship in years.

White is hardly the first candidate to ditch an Obama event.

I look forward to Obama coming to my town. I'm not even gonna bother with a hand-held sign. I'm gonna fabricate and enormous one out of a bedsheet and hang it from an overpass over US 59.
Anybody wants in on my fun and possible beating by leftist thugs, give me a FReepmail.
