(Red) Bootie Call

Hey, kids, it's less than an hour until the big show. Shami vs. White. We have the flamboyant, red bootie clad Shami in one corner and the white guy in the other.

Watch the Democratic gubernatorial debate on a channel near you (media outlets broadcasting it at this link) or live on your computer.

Shami has inserted his red clad foot in his mouth and has committed (in my opinion) the impardonable sin of calling the Democratic Party the "Democrat" Party. This is Shami quoted in the Texas Tribune:

"I've been faced with this — you know, going to the Democrat chairs and interviewing with them. They give you two minutes. That is not enough time to know a candidate and the plans of the candidate. And Democrats are blinded. They don't check records or the truth."

Ugh. Make him stop. Why would Democrats vote for someone who acts like he wishes he didn't have to run in our Primary?

We'll hear from him and Bill White soon enough - 7 PM tonight. I think I'm going to try and participate in a live chat thing the Shami campaign has put together. I'll post that once the debate starts.
