I would love to have had a beer with Ann Richards... certainly more than George Bush. I don't get it... never had a great opinion of Texans (present company excepted) and that election reinforces the negative. If she has only won he world would be a better place.

"Maybe I should be asking CJ but how the hell did Bush beat Ann Richards?" Interesting question. Ann had a high job approval rating through the day of the election. Now true, there were those persistent rumors, no one knows who from, of her lesbianism, drug and alcohol use. Rumors, rumors, rumors......always rumors when GW Bush runs for office. Besides, he said he had plans on what to do with the budget surpluses and promised a tax cut. And he appealed to the evangelicals. Besides, he seemed like a guy you could go out and drink a beer with. Ann, while great with jokes, would probably want to tell you about improving the schools or attracting technology jobs to Texas. No danger of that with Dubya. Why am I getting a bad case of déjà vu???
