1. Well it's good that it's close.

2. I think everyone here realizes how badly Texas needs White

Perry has screwed the common man big time.We have an unemployment rate of 8.2....because no one is getting benefits and making minimum wage.Texas will hopefully improve during White's stay(he only plans to do 2 terms)

6. I don't know., We've been cockteased by Texas before.

I still remember the much vaunted "Dream Team" in 2002. I was certain that at least John Sharp would be elected Lt. Gov., but every single damn one of them lost.

7. Any other repub would have an easier time than perry. He just stayed too long.

8. White may pull it off with Houston's votes -

we love our former mayor. :)

9. This poll seems to be more concerned with home insurance reform

10. Texas

White Is the best candiate who could win In Texas.Don't forget Perry was reelected In 2006 with 29 percent of the vote In a 4 way
race.If a GOP poll has it virtually tied good news for White.

11. Hopefully this means that Texas is finally getting fed up with Bush's Mini-Me.

Perry's gotta go!

12. Wow. Go Bill White!

Last week he was behind 7 points.

13. Now I know why all the voting machines in Harris county got torched. Woot! n/t

14. TX GOP has some aces up its sleeve: Hart Intercivic and ES&S.

That's about all the GOP's got going for it, but in TX that's enough. Unless they're forced to use paper and actually count it in Harris County.

16. That worries me

They sure are good at stealing elections.

[saltpoint]

15. I hope there's a big headline on this race down in

Texas this November. With big blue letters.

Go, Bill.

It not only gets a really pukey Republican out of the Texas governor's job, it also deeply wounds Perry's aspirations for higher office, all in one election night.

17. Here comes Diebold to save the day!

hard-working man who I liked a lot!
