Perry Vs White

No, this isn't a Superman bit.

Texas had their primary Tuesday and Gov. Rick Perry managed to get the better than 50% he needed to avoid a run-off against Sen. Hutchison. I saw a little too much of this race while I was in Houston as both sides went at it hammer and tongs with ads.

Mr. Perry will square off against Houston Mayor Bill White in the general election in November. Mr. Perry is seeking his third full term (he took over when George W. Bush resigned to assume the Presidency) and has been dogged with accusations of cronyism and other things associated with staying in office for a long time. However, Texas is in a real conservative mood these days and Mr. Perry's almost CSA rhetoric should get him in well enough to soundly defeat Mr. White.
