Public Policy Polling Has White and Perry Tied at 43

Plus the $10 DP donation. Sure, cover me.

Perry has been governor for almost 10 years now. A bad decade economically for our great State. People are tired of Perry. He'll lose this time around. White will win the governorship even with the Green (GOP backed) party on the ballot. Everyone that voted for Kinky last time will realize their mistake and ignore the Greens.

That's dreadfully inaccurate. While the rest of the country is mired in recessions, housing value losses, and high unemployment, we've barely felt it here.

Judge rules Green Party ineligible for Texas ballot

An illegal corporate contribution used by the Green Party of Texas to field statewide candidates will keep the party's nominees off the November ballot, a judge ruled Thursday.
[...]
According to court testimony, Mike Toomey, a lobbyist and former Perry chief of staff, personally paid for an aborted effort to qualify the Green Party for the ballot.

It's on appeal.

When in the face of an asshole like Perry, you're fooling yourself if you think White's election will mean anything. I would want White over Perry because Perry is a heartless fool.

The Governor is important only because of the fact that the legislature only meets every other year.

As I've said before, the Lt. Governor has the real powers because of his ability to make key legislature chair and committee appointments.

The dems already have enough votes in the Senate to block legislation and are only a couple of seats away from controlling the House.

When you keep electing people like Perry, Barton, Patrick and far-right school boards (where are they going to get the money to buy those new books?), it may come sooner rather than later...:lol:

Actually, the real power rests in the commissions, but that didn't stop Perry from using executive orders to lay down a few laws that were very hard to swallow, such as new taxes, giving Mexican trucks with bald tires and bad brakes the rights to endanger the lives of Texas citizens, and ordering schoolgirls to recieve vaccinations in which human testing had not been completed, and which was wisely shot down by the legislature. It is true that the Texas governor does not have that much power, but the power he does have has the ability to cause real damage, should the governor misuse it, as Perry has done.
