Last week we presented Five Campaign Posters Rick Perry Should Consider.In the interests of fairness, we do the same now for Bill White.
It’s a slightly tougher job with White, of course. Rick Perry is out there shootin’ coyotes, secedin’ from America, buildin’ walls like crazy, and so on. Basically doin’ anything that’s right-wing, manly and doesn’t require a “g” at the end of it.
Bill White isn’t quite as…cartoonish, should we say? A bookish wonk trying to debate the issues: You try making a great campaign poster.
We made an attempt. Here are five:
5. If you can’t beat `em, join `em
You can’t just concede the macho vote to Perry; you’ve got to give him a taste of his own medicine.
| Robert’s Rules of ORRRDERRRRR!!!!! |
4. Honesty is the best policy
All right, maybe the macho thing doesn’t work. In that case, go the complete other route:
| Do you want to hear a story about an 8-point position plan? |
3. Further adventures in truth
Maybe the sunglasses will help with the coolness factor.
2. It worked for Batman
Not so much for Heath Ledger, of course.
| Why so serious? Because Texas is at a crossroadszzzzzzzzz |
1. The Sum of All Fears
Meryl seems to feel like most of Texas does, if the polls are to be believed.
| At least Bill looks happy |
