Perry vs White: 4 Weeks Left in Texas

If you've followed my blog for more than a couple posts, you probably know that I consider myself to be a moderate-conservative (more moderate on social issues, more conservative on financial, military and governance issues) and most often identify with Republican ideals. You may even remember my political crush on Rudy Giuliani.

But this election season, in considering the Texas gubenatorial race, I'm having a true crisis of conscience. I've voted for Perry in the past, you see, but I've become increasingly disgruntled with his administration over the past couple years.

I've listened to several interviews with Bill White and he seems like a decent guy - and certainly wouldn't be the first Democrat I've voted for, since I'm an issues versus party voter.

But.

But.

I'm just not sure. More of the same...or a pretty big unknown?

True: White did well as governor of Houston, a city with a larger population than some US states.

True: Perry has accomplished many positives during his already-long tenure as governor.

But.

White has some items on his Liberal-for-Texas-but-still-comparatively-Conservative agenda that I'm not feeling too sure about.

And 4 more years of Perry means 4 more years of crony-ism.

So which is worse? Or, conversely, which is more easily tolerated?

I'll be doing some seriously hard thinking over the next few weeks to make up my mind.

How about you?
