GWB seems to be in the recent tradition of Republican gubernatorial
candidates in Texas. Clayton Williams, who ran in 1990, was also a
business man with no government experience. You also missed the column
where William Murchison, a conservative columnist, opined that the
Republican Party really wants to unseat the woman who said "Poor
George Bush, born with a silver foot in his mouth" at the 1992
Democratic Convention. What better way to do it than with GHWB's son?

I also don't understand why being opposed to Clinton is a
qualification for Governor of Texas -- a point GWB made in his closing
remarks at the debate. Besides, Clinton won the presidency *without*
carrying Texas (the first candidate to do so BTW), so Clinton can't do
any *worse* in Texas.
