Texas Primaries Featured

Texas primaries are over and Perry and White won huge.  Rick Perry avoided a chance for a run-off in the three man race with 51% of Republicans voting for him.  Kay Bailey Hutchinson rounded up 30% of Republican’s votes and Debra Medina managed just 18%.  Political scientists say Rick Perry’s “Anti-Washington” message was key to his success.  While in office, Rick Perry turned down many opportunities to receive federal funding for various projects, displaying his stern conservative beliefs.  He made it clear that he wanted as little federal government interference as possible in the state of Texas.  Rick Perry carried this message over to his campaign and the result was yet again, another victory.   As for Kay Bailey and her disappointing turnout, she just could not make a strong case against the sure-shot Republican incumbent.  It is not easy to beat out a Republican incumbent that has done nothing to upset his party.  Another factor that could have accredited to her loss is her rusty campaigning skills.  Hutchinson’s establishment as a savvy politician, as well as her tactic to challenge Perry’s commitment to true conservative ideals, made her a worthy opponent.  However, she has not been involved in a tough campaign in a long time and that undoubtedly contributed to her defeat.  Now Texans will have to wait until November to vote for their next Governor in an interesting race between veteran Rick Perry and former mayor of Houston, Bill White, who swept the Democratic primary with a 77% vote.

    That's understandable that money makes people autonomous. But how to act when somebody doesn't have money? The only one way is to try to get the personal loans or just college loan.
