| Cecile Richards, daughter of former Governor Ann Richards, has joined the chorus of political analysts who are roundly declaring that "Texas is competitive" in the gubernatorial race.
Richards was just on MSNBC's The Daily Rundown with Chuck Todd and Savannah Guthrie. Richards stated the following upon Todd's coaxing of her opinion on the Texas gubernatorial race:
Hope springs eternal in Texas. The demographics are changing in that state and Democrats have done well in recent election cycles. Texas is competitive.
That's all a lot of Texans have these days is hope. Many folks hope for a day where their governor cares about rising insurance rates, electricity rates, and crippling college tuition costs that are bankrupting Texans in every corner of the Lone Star State. Many Texans hope for a day that their children will attend a public school and receive an education that prepares their kids for future success. Many Texans hope for a change in leadership and a new direction in Austin that sets our state on a path toward short-term and long-term success.
That type of hope can only be fulfilled by electing a real leader with the foresight and vision to move our state forward. Cecile Richards recognizes what mainstream Texans recognize, which is Bill White is the best hope for a brighter future for the Lone Star State. |
