Baker Institute Student Forum debate: Re-elect Rick Perry for governor

Next Tuesday, Many of my Republican brethren are going to jump ship and vote for Bill White to replace Republican Governor Rick Perry as leader of our fine state. I, however, will not be one of them. In an election marked with heated mudslinging, allegations of corruption and other misdeeds I found myself almost leaning to the Democrats for answers this time. I realize it sounds cliché, but in making up my mind to vote for Perry I absolutely felt I was picking the lesser of two evils. Both men have pointed fingers at the others for misdeeds in their respective former (or current) office. Ads paid for by Perry's campaign allege White "redistributed" monies in Houston Police Department's retirement fund and profited from dispersing cleanup and power contracts after Hurricane Rita in 2005.
