Ann Richards was regarded as a failure. She promised to take on the insurance industry influence in Texas, and then seemed to be bought off by them. Also, she was a woman in macho Texas. Governor is a less powerful position in Texas than Lt. Governor. Bush had to go along to get along, and a Dem in Texas is a Republican in a blue state, so it wasn't hard for Bush to get along.

I wasn't there for his re-election.
