Bush was from Outside Washington.

And we all know how that's worked out.

When are the comparisons to Bush going to start?

This is like Deja Vu.

Bush was a reformer, outside Washington, had executive experience, a regular guy, etc.

1. Bush an outsider? Not really. He got his support from his daddy's

rolodex. His executive experience was almost nil since the Governor of Texas job is mostly ceremonial, the Lieutenant Governor does all the work. What he was was a failed businessman that was always living off the coattails of daddy and being bailed out by the same friends of daddy. Take a close look at the Texas Rangers deal and the people that backed him for Governor. That tells the story of Little George.
