re: #125 Lidane

What helped defeat Ann Richards was George W. Bush’s name. He was from a recognizable GOP family and his father had been President just a few years before Dubya got elected governor. Ann’s gun veto was a much smaller factor than you think.

I lived in Texas at the time, and I still can’t fully understand how GWB won that election. Of course, I also look at Governor Goodhair and thank my lucky stars that I moved out of state. I can’t believe he beat John Sharp either.
