Hutchison supporters backing White in Texas governor's race

Fort Worth Star-Telegram 7/29/10
Several former supporters of Hutchison are backing White in Texas governor's race

The White campaign hopes to use the prestigious names to help the former Houston mayor cut into Perry's support among conservative business circles and illustrate his ability to reach across party lines. But Perry's camp also touts a hefty list of endorsements and strong support in the Texas business establishment.

John Adams, former chairman and CEO of Chase Bank of Texas, said the majority of the signers are moderate Republicans like himself. But he said some are independents who have supported both Democrats and Republicans.

He said the letter is aimed at appealing to "independents and Republicans that Bill may be able to pull across the aisle and show his bipartisan support."

About half the signers supported Hutchison in the primary, according to White's campaign.

"Obviously we think Perry ought to be replaced," Adams said.

:woohoo: This is big news and a great boost for White!

7. Texas does need Bill White!

We need a new leader in the Governor's mansion. Not Perry who is only in it for himself. Rick Perry is only in it to enrich himself and his cronies.

We've had enough of Perry feeding at the government trough to make money for himself. It's time for him to go.
