Hooray for red-state democrats!

I was back in Texas and Oklahoma over the summer, and I am so encouraged by the great candidates for governor in both states.

In Houston, I was a huge fan of Bill White. I think he can make a real stand against Rick Perry, and he would be a great governor... And if he won, well, 2016! So far Perry has been too cowardly to agree to a debate on the issues, but with any luck pressure will force his hand. White's coffers are full, and he will be a formidable foe.

Likewise, Jeri Askins would be a fabulous choice for Oklahoma. She's hard working and dedicated. Oklahoma's going to have a woman governor no matter what, with Askins, we would also have a good governor :)
