Bill White ran...`

I was expecting Flock of Seagulls...

Bill White's spurning of Obama didn't win him any Republican votes, but it did dampen the enthusiasm of his supporters...

Even the Burnt Orange Report which has writers on the Bill White payroll isn't too happy... Karl Thomas Musselman at least is not completely thrilled with Bill White (link). Excerpt follows...

Yes, Bill White could have been handled far better. Yes, White's approach flew in the face of his primary campaign theme that he's above "politics as usual". Yes, Perry had a field day with it and White gave him a rare win in the summer news cycle. But in the grand scheme of the campaign, it will be of minor importance to the final outcome on November 2nd because the Democratic base in Texas cares more about winning. They recognize that it can't elect better Democrats until it elects any Democrats.

That's why Democrats frustrated with Bill White should forgive him. But it's also why progressive Democrats frustrated with Bill White should remember, because there will come a day where such behavior and policy critiques will be unacceptable- a day when we are politically powerful enough to choose better Democrats and influence candidate behavior.

So forgive, but remember, as we work to elect Bill White in November.

He sounds about as thrilled to get out and vote for Bill White as Ben Stein in Ferris Bueller...

Bill White really has no path to a win here even with the media in his pocket and Bill White's third party groups out spending Rick and his allies by a long shot...
