Houston Mayor Bill White To Run For Texas Governor: "Shouldn't we be the state that leads the nation and not leaves the nation?"

... a preview of a campaign that hopes to take the first Democrat to the governor's mansion since Ann Richards was defeated in 1994 by George W. Bush. In a 15-minute speech that one political analyst called “passionate for Bill White,” the mayor focused on education and pocketbook issues, such as Texas' high home insurance and electricity rates. Without saying his name, White repeatedly...

White To Run For TX GOV

... No Dem has won any statewide office in TX since '94, and no Dem has won the governorship since Ann Richards in '90. As Houston Chronicle columnist Rick Casey notes, no big-city mayor has ever been elected governor (That holds true in many states: Being mayor is not a great way to take the state's top job. Just ask every NYC mayor who's ever run for higher office). But White will give Dems...

NY Times sees new bipartisan consensus on criminal justice, ignores old one

... Texas Legislature increasing or creating criminal penalties are carried by Democrats, and it was Ann Richards who successfully won 100K new prison beds back in the '90s. At the national level, the biggest drug warriors in the Senate for 20 years have been Joe Biden, John Kerry and Tom Harkin. So this recurring characterization of conservatives as tuff-on-crime and liberals as "soft"...

Dems to get their White knight in TX?

... getting in -- could very well give Democrats their best chance at the governor's mansion since Ann Richards served there in the early 1990s. Indeed, a Democratic source tells First Read that it appears White is getting in. "It's not firm or done yet," the source adds. Perhaps biggest reason why White has a solid chance in this red state is due to the Rick Perry -vs.- Kay Bailey...

Bat Season Ending

Unless you stand directly on or under the bridge (Congress Avenue Ann Richards) what you see when our Mexican Free Tail Bats fly is a huge drawing on the sky like someone sketched with a charcoal pencil only it's moving.
