About me
I started this blog in December 2004. There were rumors swirling about who was going to challenge Rick Perry. On a whimsical note, I described the situation as "Rick Perry versus the World." People started reading, so I kept posting...well, ok, there's been quite a few interludes where I stopped posting.
I choose to leave my last name off of this blog, because I'd rather prospective employers not see this blog when they google my name. It's not hard to figure out if you really care though. I graduated a few years ago from Rice, where I wrote my senior thesis on the Deep South gubernatorial campaigns of the 90s.

If you're Republican, why the heck are you giving the Republican incumbent Governor a hard time? Politics may not be your thing.

I'm not giving Rick Perry a hard time. This blog tracks the gubernatorial race (and other Texas politics and politicos as well, lately). It generally aims to simply chronicle the events that unfold.
Perhaps the name is unflattering to Perry, but at the conception of this blog, it really seemed like it was Rick Perry against the world. There were lots of rumors of primary challenges and Democratic challengers.

Do you know of a site that lists the Texas candidate and their stand on various issues?

Evan, I've started a similar blog to your own, however it'll have much less analysis than you seem to have.
I plan on simply grouping together information about candidates stands on "the issues" as KJones has been seeking.

Not much there now, but it's a work in progress.
