  Burkablog — Authority: 545
  As mayor of Houston, White enjoyed considerable support — political and financial — from Republicans. But he occupied a nonpartisan office.

  Off the Kuff — Authority: 148

The conservative Democrats who had been his political allies during the seventies, when he served in the Legislature, had ceased to exist as a political force. I had the opportunity to meet with Tom on a couple [...]

• Waiting for the Hutchison ad

  
  Burkablog — Authority: 545
  I had a conversation with John Sharp this afternoon. Sharp said that White’s first preference has always been to run for governor. What had kept him out of the governor’s race was the prospect that Hutchison would win the primary, leaving White to face the most popular figure in Texas politics, which she was, by ...

• White update: Will hold press conference to say he is considering a race for governor

  
  Burkablog — Authority: 545
  The word is that a race for governor is “in play,” which I take to mean that White is keeping his options open, which is not really news.The bad blood between Rick and Kay is only going to get worse. Had Hutchison resigned in the fall, which was her stated intention, White would be in [...]

  Off the Kuff — Authority: 148
  Shorter Burka : “KBH says in her new TV ad that she’s needed in the Senate. So why is she running for Governor?” It’s a good question.

  Back in September , I noted a deal that the City of Houston was working on with a firm called NRG to build a solar plant that would supply some of the city’s power needs.
