Gov. Rick Perry's campaign hit the trail with Bill White and captured what it considers to be humorous moments for a new web video posted today: the Democratic nominee tucking one pant leg into his boot, failing to shake someone's hand, looking vaguely reminiscent of Michael Dukakis and more.
Here's the clip:

Both are evidence that nobody paid attention during the primaries!

You know what would be awesome: a debate.
Ricky, you can even mention in the debate that Bill White didn't acquiesce to your firm demand for tax records.

The commercial would have hit gold had it only included a shot of White wearing his open road.

I thought slovenly dudes on the internet made YouTube fodder like this, not legitimate political campaigns (or their right-hand-man PACs).

Here's my take:Perry is a career politician who needs to be put out to pasture. Tricky Ricky has gotta go!

I think White should embrace this image. Unpretentious, humble and little bit geek/nerd. I like these things about him, a true servant leader.

All the more reason for Texans to be "independent",and not declare a Red or Blue preference.We should be able to decide unfettered by chains binding asses or elephants.Houston mayors cannot be toraging "liberals",these 2 guys each have good points(and when you figure out what they are,please elucidate us,OK?)
