3. "the choice of the majority." In '06, took 39%. Most things TX are inflated.
And, more broadly, most everything in Texas Tuff Tawk, like Shrub.

The spiel about Goodhair is that he has never lost an election. Well, in '06 his winning percentage was 39% because the serial bride Ms STRAYHORN took the teachers into voting for her and the Don slIMUS jerkoff Kinky FRIEDMAN convinced the young, 3rd party, Greens, NADIRites to vote for him with pastel art portraits of himself, splitting the votes. Just with either of those two splinter groups, the Democratic candidate Chris BELL could have beat him.

So the rest of the Texas Tuff Tawk is phooey, too: TX has a Weak Governor system, so all the credit that Shrub and now Goodhair get for executive experience and leadership is CRAP. It's all TAWKING TUFF. Bluster. Shrub is afeard of horses, as Vicente FOX demonstrated, and Goodhair just unleashes his fearsomeness on undocumented immigrants and DPS officers who stop his chauffeurs for speeding.

My mantra: The day Goodhair announces, I start the countdown to the day he withdraws.
