Most political candidates promise to start a new program or policy on their first day in office, but Bill White has different plans if elected Texas governor. The Democrat says his first bold move would be into a mobile home.

In another jab at Republican Gov. Rick Perry, who is costing taxpayers $10,000 a month by renting a mansion outside Austin, White vowed during a swing through East Texas on Wednesday to move into a trailer home if elected. The millionaire businessman and former Houston mayor currently lives in a 4,122-square-foot home appraised at $2.1 million, but said he would be the portrait of frugality the moment he took office.

"It will start when I move, on the first day that I'm sworn into office, out of that fancy rental mansion into a double-wide trailer," White said. "Where I come from, fiscal conservatism means you don't waste money on yourself."

I can't recall the last time I heard a Dem make a comment about being fiscally conservative.

Bill White is a Clintonista and former mayor of Houston.  He is desperate right now - polls show Rick the Himbo Perry in the lead.

If he moves into a trailer, will they still not have to keep up the governors mansion anyway?  Sounds like he will be adding to the cost of government.

Has a 2.1 million dollar mansion, but is preaching fiscal conservatism? Im with Wench here- this smells of desperation.
