The University of Texas/Texas Tribune poll released last week showed Bill White, the Democrats’ nominee for Governor with a relatively thin lead among Hispanics over Republican incumbent Rick Perry. (The numbers are near the end of the story.)
White, the former Houston mayor, recently spent parts of the last two weeks in the Rio Grande Valley, trying to drum up support in an area that traditionally doesn’t out a lot of voters for a gubernatorial election. Reporter Corrie MacLaggan of the Austin American-Statesman talks to KUT’s Ian Crawford about what she saw when she tagged along with the White caravan in this week’s “Texas Political Parlor.”
