Perry Up by 9 in New UT/TT Poll | 5/23/10
Republican Rick Perry leads Democrat Bill White by 9 percentage points — 44 percent to 35 percent — in the 2010 race for governor, according to the latest University of Texas/Texas Tribune poll.

Glad to see those anger management classes have been working for you, as we haven't hear from you in such a long time. But it's time to crawl back under your rock. Maybe you should even go shoe shopping. Nothing makes me feel better about the world than a beautiful pair of shoes.
