Greg Abbott as Governor of Texas


          “If You Liked Rick Perry, You'll Love Greg Abbott” is a blog in the Austin Chronicle that talks about the Texas attorney who is running for Governor of Texas. The blog includes some of the roles Greg Abbott has played while being an attorney and what he has to offer to the state of Texas. In my opinion, the author is very credible because he gives the readers enough information to get a better understanding of what Greg Abbott is all about and what to expect from him if he gets elected as Governor. The author also includes similarities that Perry and Abbott have which benefits those Perry supporters.
          The author is arguing that Greg Abbott is a good candidate for Governor because he has similar political views as our current governor. I do agree that for those who are Rick Perry supporters will most likely support Greg Abbott as well, especially for those diehard liberals. Greg Abbott is a true Texan whom follows traditions much like Rick Perry and since Texas is filled with liberals the chances of Abbott being elected are rather high. The author includes a case in which Greg Abbott sued to keep the Ten Commandments on the capital lawn. The fact that Abbott was willing to fight for the Ten Commandments goes to shows how important our nations traditions are to him and how he will protect Texas and it's ongoing traditions as well.
