Earlier this year, you heard a lot of buzz about former Houston mayor Bill White’s chances to beat Texas Gov. Rick Perry, a win that would undoubtedly invigorate Democrats and persuade them that they can win, with the right candidates, even in the reddest parts of the country.
Time magazine: “Has a Democrat Got a Chance of Becoming Governor of Texas?”
The Houston Chronicle: “The former Houston mayor arguably is the strongest gubernatorial candidate Democrats have nominated since Ann Richards in 1990.”
A Public Policy Polling poll in June showed the pair tied: “For now this looks like a surprisingly strong opportunity for Democrats and a race that could certainly end up as one of the most closely watched in the country.”
Yet when you look at the overall polling, it looks pretty consistent:
And the most recent poll, by a Republican firm, puts Perry up by 12, 50 percent to 38 percent.

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.
