Outgoing Houston Mayor Bill White will announce his decision on whether to stay in the US Senate race or switch to Texas Governor in an announcement on Friday December 4th. Those of us signed up on the campaign's text service are supposed to hear about it first, but doubt we will. Obama tried that game, and we never got a text at all.
Our prediction-- White switches to Governor. There has been mostly positive response to his considering making the switch. He also has the money and name recognition, even among every day (case in point our very non political significant other at home who is not even from Houston).
His entry would make him the immediate front runner among Democrats. He would also be facing off against other strong challengers in Hank Gilbert, Farouk Shami, and Kinky Friedman. Gilbert has grassroots support, Shami has the money, and Friedman...well, he is Kinky. No disrespect to Felix Alvarado, but he has no chance in this fight.
