Mark White is impressed with Obama's campaign
Former Gov. Mark White sounded like he was only half kidding when asked about what he was doing to help Sen. Barack Obama win the Texas Democratic primary next Tuesday.
"Staying out of the way so I don't mess something up," White, who was governor from 1983 until '87 and endorsed Obama for president on Tuesday, told PoliTex in a brief phone interview this afternoon.
"I'll tell you what. This is probably the best-run campaign in American history, and I've been involved in them since 1976 when I was (Texas) secretary of state," he added. "If this guy runs the country like he's run his campaign, we're all in for a happy surprise."
Both Obama and New York Sen. Hillary Clinton have made countless campaign appearances in the Lone Star State since the eyes of the political world turned to Texas 10 days ago. So have their spouses and sundry surrogates, and that trend's not likely to change until the vote-counting starts.
Many observers say Texas could end up deciding who the Democrats will nominate for general election campaign.
