Clements has backing needed
to win nomination, supporter says
By CYNTHIA GAY
Stuff Writer
Former Ciov. William Clements
has enough grass-roots support to
win the Republican nomination and
the Texas governorship, said Jack
Rains at a press conference before a
meeting of the Texas Aggie Majority
for Clements Tuesday night.
“No one ever accused Bill Clem
ents of being a great politician,” said
Rains, statewide co-chairman for
Clements’ campaign for governor.
“While he was a great governor, he
was not a great politician.”
Rains, who is also chairman of the
board of 3/D International, asserted
that Mark White was elected by spe
cial interests groups — that Jesse
Jackson calls the “Rainbow Coali
tion” — and “has his eye on a na
tional ticket” in the future.
“Mark’s a charming guy, a likable
guy,” he said. “Mark never met a
camera he didn’t like.”
Rains’ top priority is reeling in
enough votes in the spring Republi
can primary for Clements to be the
No. 1 bait for conservative Texans
next fall.
“Bill Clements is the overwhelm
ing choice of conservatives in this
state,” he said, weighing the past
governor’s popularity against the
prospects of former U.S. Reps. Kent
Hance and Tom Loeffler.
He added that Loeffler is bur
dened with a “distinct disadvantage”
in this campaign because he hasn’t
established enough rapport with the
18 major media markets in Texas.
“Tom has a long way to go in meet
ing the people of this great wide
state,” Rains said.
Kent Hance will be labeled an
“opportunist politician” by White’s
campaign, he added. “He changed
parties as an act of principle . . .but
in politics, timing is everytbing."
i he campaign tor the nomi
nations has jumped off to an early
start because Loeffler and Hance re
alized that Clements’ reputation is “a
great big mountain they have to
climb,” Rains said. About $2 million
is needed to market a successful bid
for Texas’ highest office, he said.
He dubbecl Clements the "straight
shooter” and White the “master poli
tician” and said their conflicting
campaigns will give the state and na
tional media all the makings for a
controversial, high-profile gover
nor’s race. And all that free news
coverage holds down the campaign
costs, he said.
Because White has never run for
reelection for any office. Rains said
the governor should have some
trouble defending his past record
for the first time in his political ca
reer. Texans have had four years of
"watching (White) say one thing and
do something else," he said.
“(White) made a commitment to
people — no new taxes," Rains said.
"He’s taking more monei |
Texans pockets than anyowl
had in office.
"Mark White made a
(in the 1982 race) thathe'sji
lower utility rates," he said !
he didn't stand a chanced;]
ball in hell (of reducing thou
for all Texas citizens)."
Texas is at the crossroadil
history. Rains said. ThedroJ
revenues demands a tij
proach to the state’s
Clements' left office with ilj
surplus, he added.
The campaign cod
pushed aside the recently
sue that Clements' positiomi
man of the Southern M
versity Board of Regemsis
connected with an NCAA
lion of that university's
of athletes. ‘‘Bill Clementshl
more on his mind than who
in football," Rains said
