After five months of campaigning, White still hasn't given Texans a clear vision of where he wants to take their state.
Voters may be picking up on what Houston's former mayor doesn't like about Perry's decade in the Governor's Mansion, including his handling of the Texas Enterprise Fund. As this newspaper's Wayne Slater reported last week, White is raising many of the same questions about Perry that Kay Bailey Hutchison did in their GOP primary battle.
But we doubt there are many Texans who could give you the White vision, just as Hutchison failed to provide a clear idea of where she would lead Texas. Even some top Democrats we talked to last week were stumped about White's major priorities.
Bill White needs to give some specifics... yet when he does give specifics he seems to be stepping in all the wrong places...
When he bashes the SBOE he is really bashing the voters who put them in power... when he bashes the Texas Enterprise Fund he is really bashing a major job creation tool...
He is so boring that he can't really come out and give an exciting Obama speech and make peeps forget that he has no actual ideas... Bill White even prides himself on being a policy nerd... yet he has yet to really offer any real ideas.
At the same time Rick is going around telling the story of Texas being better than California, and that is all he needs to say...

Hey now, campaign characters. Be nice. I know a lot of you on both sides, so I don't want any overly foul language, personal attacks on anyone other than the candidates themselves, or other party fouls. I will moderate the heck out of you if you start breaking the bounds of civility.
