...I'm sitting in the lobby of a Holiday Inn listening to one side of a cell-phone conversation between Bill White and Ricky Pfeil, an Amarillo minister...
White, sitting on a leather couch with a cell phone to his ear, is wearing a blue suit, a flamingo-pink tie and boots. Although I can't hear the minister's questions, I can tell that White is trying to keep the focus on education. He tells Pfeil (pronounced File) that Texas needs to cut its drop-out rate and make college more accessible.
"I'm not saying we ought to have a big government program - everybody who knows me knows better than that - but I do think our state needs to improve and it can't stand still," he says...
Later in the conversation, White tells Pfeil he's pro-choice.
"I have to admire his courage," the minister tells me when I get him on the phone a few days later. "We talked about it for three or four days afterward on the show. I can tell you, he's not well-received on my radio station, because this is a Christian radio station, and he supports the Democratic platform, which means he's for abortion and gay rights."
I mention that White's a longtime Sunday school teacher at his Methodist congregation. Pfeil's a congenial sort, but he's not impressed with White's Christian bona fides. "That doesn't go over very well with a strong Christian audience -- to say you're a Christian and then to be for abortion and homosexuality," he says.
Pastor Ricky, as his congregation knows him, tells me that most of his radio audience doesn't know much about Bill White anyway -- and that "Rick Perry's pretty popular up here, a lot more popular than Kay Bailey Hutchison..."

If I am not mistaken I heard Beck’s sidekick praising White on the radio show this morning.
The guy was hesitating to say he favored Perry over White.
What’s up with that???
’ “I’m not saying we ought to have a big government program - everybody who knows me knows better than that - but I do think our state needs to improve and it can’t stand still,” he says... ‘
Oh no, that’s exactly what he’s saying, he’s a Democrat-see how civil I am calling him a Democrat. Texans, elect this guy and just see what you get. He’s an Obama plebe and Texas will crash under his leadership just like the US is doing under Obama’s.
It’s Bill White’s “one issue”. He has said outright that “Rick Perry doesn’t care about high school students”.
This issue will not win him the state. Wonder what he really plans to do if he wins office (Gov or Senate).
“Wonder what he really plans to do if he wins office (Gov or Senate).”
He’s an Obamite and an Obamination, if elected-there’s your answer.
White is a poor choice for Govenor candidate.
Governor “Rick” will beat him like a drum. Rick is not perfect, but the last thing the country and the State of Texas needs is another Obozo supporter as Governor.
Perry wins easily.
Another Obama Democrat is trying to fool Texans like Obama himself fooled America.
How dumb do you have to be to fall for that ... TWICE??!?!?
It’s Bill White’s “one issue”. He has said outright that “Rick Perry doesn’t care about high school students”.
Bill White is in the pocket of the teacher’s unions, opposes school choice, supports bilingual education which is ruining the education of hispanic ESL Texans, and lied about our history to make a partisan issue.
He’s a disaster on education.
Need more proof? His idiotic traffic management plan that declared all freeways tow-away zones... 6 minutes to clear your vehicle. Most expensive such plan in the nation. And a fiasco to-boot. Tough tow-nails if you were poor, pregnant, handicap, elderly, had a car full of kids,etc., you had 6 minutes to clear the shoulder and pay the $75+ tow fee. Stupid on steroids. Dismal failure.
Houston schools, ha! There's a success story. not. Drop out rate? closures?
You know those youtube vids of those Obama kids? Under White, expect more... here in Texas.
What about illegals? As mayor of Houston, he did what? right. nada.
He's a liberals liberal. And a buffoon.
