Texas Gov. Rick Perry Accepts Invite To Debate Sen. Hutchison
This via Texas Insider:
Gov. Rick Perry today accepted an invitation from the Tarrant County and Denton County GOP to debate Senator Hutchison in Denton this fall.
Sen. Hutchison should join him so a date can be set for the debate. Gov. Perry has also accepted debate invitations from Belo Corporation and the Collin County GOP.
“With a 16-year Washington record of supporting record-setting debt, earmarks and bailouts, Sen. Hutchison has some explaining to do,” said Perry campaign spokesman Mark Miner.
“Texans want to hear concrete ideas on how to improve our state, not baseless criticism. We hope Sen. Hutchison will accept this opportunity to offer specific proposals and educate voters on how she intends to fund them.”
As a Texan, I’m inclined to support Perry. I like the way he’s handled things as Governor. I think Hutchison has supported too many big spending liberal policies while in The U.S. Senate and we don’t need that in Texas.
That said, this will be Perry’s third term if he wins. At the end of it he will have been Governor for 14 years.
One could make the argument that 14 years is a long time without a change of power. However, I think most people are pretty happy with Perry’s leadership (myself included) so that argument may not hold water with voters. If it ain’t broke — don’t fix it.
In any case, the debate should be quite entertaining.
