Part of Bill White’s campaign for governor was to expose him to the entire state. He had already started running for Texas’ US Senator (Kay Bailey’s seat) before he threw his hat in the ring for governor.
It’s all been about getting his name out there. And the fact that Kay Bailey said she’d be stepping down AND that Republicans knocked her in the primary means that there may be no encumbant for that seat in 2012.
The expectation is that Lt. Gov. Dewhurst will run for Kay’s seat.
Bill White is know to campaign early and long for any electable position...
He started campaining for Mayor of Houston almost 2 years before the election...
His TV ads were very neutral, non political, goal oriented, city services, fiscal responsibility, hire more police and firefighters, riegn in corruption and ethics reform blah blah blah...
I still remember Texas’s own slick-miester from way back when...
Personally, I believe everyone (who does) is right to criticize Rick Perry for his moderate stances on a lot of issues...but if they are doing so to level the playing field or do something to give Bill white a leg up or a chance in this election, then every single one of them don’t know what a Bill White will do to Texas from that chair in Austin...
It will certainly take the bedrock of conservatism in this entire country away from being a powerhouse of resistance to socialism coming full bore at us from Washington D.C.
Forget about repealing government socialized healthcare, tax breaks, fiscal conservatism, homeland security, border security, your right to keep and bear arms, economic recovery...
Be ready for more unemployment, taxes and spending, Amnesty, government funded abortion on demand, owning or posessing firearms for any purpose...
Bill White has been waiting patiently for a chance to assist in taking Texas out of the resistance to Federal big government, and he will get some last minute support to make it a horse race...
When some get tired of the rhetoric just before the election, and do not show up to oppose Bill White, I don’t want to hear a single b!tch, gripe or moan out of anyone the next day...
So all I’ll say in conclusion is that I hope to be proven wrong in November...Be hacked off about Rick Perry all you want...But just remember...What is the alternative???
hehehe
