I'm thinking he's not obsessed with his ROI
I'm a little late to this, but well said, Ken Herman.
"I didn't care about politics because I didn't think I could make a change. Minorities did not get involved in politics, and we always thought we could not make a difference. Now we have a president called Barack Hussein Obama at the White House. He is minority. He is black. So he opened the door for an average person like me to step up front and be ready to serve this state of Texas as the new governor," Shami said at an Austin campaign event.This from a guy who gave 25K to Kinky Friedman as part of almost $80,000 in political donations over the past 7 years.The downtrodden minority/victim role is particularly unattractive on a guy who lives in a 24,585-square-foot-home like Shami does.
He plans to spend $10 million fighting Bill White in the primary. His campaign message sounds similar to Kinky Friedman's.
