Will Obama Use Texas Only As An ATM?

Perry at Brains and Eggs brings points us to a disturbing tidbit from the Chron:

Robert Gibbs, Obama’s communications director who spoke to reporters at a Christian Science Monitor breakfast Thursday, indicated that the candidate, who has not visited Texas since before the March 4 primary, will be back.

“We’ll be down there a lot,” Gibbs said. But don’t expect lots of those big, noisy rallies like the candidate held during the primary season. More likely the drop-ins will consist of discrete private fund-raisers.

Here is what Perry had to say about that:

Saw this coming after Boyd Richie spurned them prior to his coming-out party as a superdelegate, and they payed him off in full for that by shining his shoes in Austin.

They’re even now, and both have cover for pretending to do something to get down-ballot Texas Democrats elected without actually doing much of anything.

It should concern us all gravely if Obama plans on using us only as an ATM, since it was everyone’s understanding that the Party Chair’s endorsement was to help gain some kind of favor for Texas going toward November.

While we do hear now that the Obama campaign is planning on spending money in Texas (a revelation that comes after Perry’s post stirred the pot and raised the question, we might add) I think most of us subscribe, at this point, to a “I’ll believe it when I see it,” mindset. In other words, we’ll believe that the endorsement of Obama by the Party Chair paid off when we see it pay off.

Kudos to PDiddie for getting the debate started.
