Ditto. Electing a 'Rat governor would be a disaster in a redistricting year. If he gets in, he'll be the last Anglo-Saxon governor of Texas.
Politics is still a “Good ol’ Boys/Girls” network. Once they are in they circle the wagons around their compadres.
That 48 / 40 number is way to close IMO......damn !
Perry's previous weakness was primarily over the Trans-Texas Corridor. With that issue off the table and no third party candidates to split the vote, Perry will probably win with around 58%. If you asked ten voters, my bet is that fifty percent of them couldn't name the Democrat nominee. Course, if Alvin Greene is any indication, that could be a good thing.
Shoulda been in Austin whenever Ann Richards was running. The Lost in America Spaceman might as well have hung Ann Richards banners from their front doors. Their political analyst predicted that “A Bush Won’t Grow at the Governor’s Mansion.” Course, they also predicted that Rush Limbaugh wouldn’t last past a couple of weeks on the radio. The Spaceman and the Comical ran the entire political spectrum from Ellen Goodman to Molly Ivins.
btt
Idiots. Amputate them.
Perry isn’t very good, but compared to White and Hutchison he’s great.
White is even worse than Hutchison.
"stalwart" = "RINO"?
If they were KBH supporters, then chances are they might as well have been Dimocrats to begin with...
Yep. Takin’ names.
From what I’ve seen about White, he’d be even worse than Goodhair.”
Well, I can guarantee you you won’t see much in the Chronicle. He left the city in a horrible financial shape and infrastructure is a disaster. After he loses, you will then hear the new Mayor and the Chronicle blaming White for all the problems that are suddenly going to arise. Maybe not many bumper stickers but lots of yard signs for White in the Village and around Rice. Asked Perry’s campaign office about yard signs to put in the suburbs and was told they don’t have them this time around. Found that interesting a more than a little smug!
Yeah, and their funny papers are funnier, too ..... and their editorials less obnoxious. You have to be an atheist homosexual bigot to get a writing job at the Chron, I think.
Ah, yes, Molly and her straight razor with the name "Bush" acid-etched on the blade (with her tongue) .....
Well, that was then -- nowadays, the Chron is much more selective; they run the spectrum from A to E now.
Are you a hateful gay America-basher, a Ward Churchill fan, an Alinsky idolater? Please send us a poisonous squib -- you're our newest "contributing editor"!!
Perry is about 32% conservative, but White is 99% commie.
I’m not surprised that many TX “Republicans” are for Bill White. They are not thinking about the redistricting in 2011 of the legislature and the U.S. House. White could turn 44 percent Democrat legislative votes into majorities.
I don’t think Harris Co. will vote Republican; it has a lot of Democrat Katrina refugees, who helped elect Cao in New Orleans by being away.
I do think that Rick Perry has outstayed his welcome for many.
I don’t think you heard that right. I’m in Houston, and Pat Gray—one of Beck’s sidekicks—is from here, as well. He knows better than most how BAD White is.
Even if this were the case, proves the point that Kay supporters are LIBERAL because SHE is a lib! Haven’t been able to stomach her myself since she first ran 20 years ago, though I’ve had to hold my breath while voting for her a few times (never in a primary, though :)
