Well, April saw plenty of showers, and August was defiantly hot, but according to the New York Times former Houston Mayor, Dem. Bill White, may have something to say about Governor Perry’s seat on the hill. According to New York Times political analysts, White has now closed the gap on Gov. Perry to within 6% in all poles, giving Democrats hope for a victory in what is consistantly a very conservative state.
So why the sudden change, where did this sudden support come from? It has been sparked by same events that have driven our country to so adamantly seek change in the governing bodies of our nation, the recession. When times get tough the people look for new leadership, something that Bill White promises to give but something that Governor Perry warns against. Perry remains ever insistent over the successes of his conservative policies and is avidly Anti-Obama in almost all matters. Former Mayor White, on the other hand, is a slightly more than conservative democrat, one who is very supportive of the recent Recession Act legislation and wishes to use more policies like those to help boost the waning Texas economy. While White’s victory is still considered to be a long shot, it’s still a shot, and one that Democratic Party members are still a little skittish to hop on board.
This is a very well written segment that provides all the usual mud that tends to follow modern politics but also some of their policy and political history. I urge that everyone reads this article and does research into the options that are on the table in the upcoming election.
