After the primary election on Tuesday, March 2, 2010, the Texas Tribune published several articles covering the election and offered some insight into what’s to come. One of those articles, Game On: It’s Perry vs. White, by Ross Ramsey, Brian Thevenot and Ben Philpott collectively, did a great job of staying politically neutral in tone.
The article begins by stating Governor Rick Perry’s win over U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson for the Repbulican nomination, as well as former Houston Mayor Bill White’s win over Farouk Shami for the Democratic nomination. After touching on quotes from both winners in the primary, we are shown a glimpse of what it costs to run a campaign, with Farouk Shami crossing the $11 million mark while running for the Democratic nomination. Coverage of the Republicans was more in depth , mainly because of the public mudslinging between Rick Perry and Kay Bailey Hutchinson during the campaign. Throughout the article there are links to more information about the candidates, audio clips from the candidates as well as links to Texas Tribune’s Primary 2010 page, where you can find their rundown of political races and full election results.
