Debate leaves Texas gubernatorial contest unresolved
AP analysis notes Democrats Chris Bell and incumbent Rick Perry emerged as winners in the lone televised Texas gubernatorial debate. Bell solidified his bid with education immigration and ethics proposals, while Perry defended his record on taxes toll roads and border security. Independent Carole Keeton Strayhorn stumbled on a Mexico president question and had timing issues, and comedian Kinky Friedman drew limited attention. Analysts warned turnout could be low and voters may focus on local issues.
