The stakes of the 2010 election & Texas democrats' massive field program

Well after reading this eye-opening, well-written blog, I have come to see that the author is clearly democratic and he backs Bill White all the way. I find his writing and his opinions to be very credible; providing statistics, links, and all sorts of other goodies that intrigued me as I read this blog. Now all of this praise that I've given to the writer is probably a little biased (since even though I am young and new to politics, I tend to think of myself as a liberal and democratic).
But there's nothing wrong with siding with your fellow party members to support your prime candidates and I will gladly side with this writer. I agree with his findings about how White can be the guy to right the ship that Bush and Perry have steered in a the wrong direction. He can work towards improving high school graduation percentage in Texas, get more health insured children in Texas, and he can be the leader who leads us out of any problems that we may face in the short or long term.
In addition to all of the facts, statistics, and Perry-bashing going on in this blog, I love the way how he wrote it. The writing had a certain tone and voice to it that I can really relate to and it made the story that much more enjoyable. The writer knew what he was talking about when he wrote this, he appeals to just about every democrat in his writing and I could continue to praise him on and on, but I figure I've spoken enough about how great this guy writes. Damn fine writing and another great article that slams Rick Perry and praises democrats' white knight in Bill White, my favorite kind of political article.

Side note: The title of the blog starts with: The stakes of the 2010 election... this is in case the blog disappears or something, hopefully it doesn't.

Perry's spoiler alert!

It's time to fix the Emerging Technology Fund

This article is mainly aimed at those who probably want our current Governor, Rick Perry to be replaced by the opposition in the upcoming election. To me, I find him to be a very reliable source on the subject of the problematic fund. He gives lots of legitimate statistics about how Mr. Perry has just been spoiling those who give him any kind of aid. From what I read in his finely written editorial, was that Perry is just another greedy politician who's just stealing cookies from the cookie jar. The author of this editorial calls Governor Perry out with various statistics and testimonials and to me they seem very concrete and valid. So, my opinion on the editorial is that I love what this author is selling. He stated the problem, backed it up with evidence, and provided an argument that I will gladly side with. Perry is stealing funds from the state just to back his own campaign, which I'm pretty sure is wrong and he's using the "spoils system" to reward anyone who helps him gain favor in his campaign for re-election. As a citizen of the great state of Texas, I hope Perry is finally pushed out of office so someone new can run things. I mean right now anyone would probably be a step up from Perry, considering he's a thief and takes money for his own political gain. So if Bill White or any other candidate has a shot at dethroning him from being Governor, I'd love if they took that shot and somehow became the new Governor of Texas.
