PERRY LEADS WHITE IN CAMPAIGN CASH RACE

As we all know about an upcoming election in Texas, where Texans will be choosing a governor for themselves. The candidates are Rick Perry, who is republican and his rival Bill White is Democrat. This is an interesting editorial commentary about Perry leading the race against White. Democrat's campaign says, “It has fewer dollars on hand because it bought air time in advance”. Rick Perry has raised $8.3 million since June compared with the $4.7 million raised by White.

The editors of this article stating “Perry leads White in campaign cash race” are Jason Emrby and Corrie MacLaggan from Austin American statesman. Editor’s detailed report tells us about how much the campaign raised and spent, held by Perry and White. White spent most of it on future TV spot. Perry has raised immense amount of money and apart from that he is proud to have a broad support for his policies to run Texas. Perry’s spokesperson, Mark Miner said that they creating more job opportunities, secure border and also proper education.

From my research, I found out that Perry is flooded by money and his main donors are Houston homebuilders, dallassites, and reputed CEOs from the companies. Whereas White is getting more from local people and has a more comprehensive base. That is what the general election is about. Perry is still running like it is the primary. White has lots of prepaid advertisements for the future. He is playing it accordingly.Well, there is this never ending long list that has to be altered in Texas, starting from amending the constitution to changing a governor for a CHANGE.Go for it WHITE. :)
