People in TX must go with George P. because they don’t recognize his opponent, if for no other reason.
I don’t necessarily think that’s true in most cases.
For instance, here in Georgia, Former Senator Sam Nunn’s daughter is running for Senate to replace Saxby Traitor Chambliss as a Democrat (much like he nearly always intended to vote).
I wouldn’t vote for her directly even though I don’t know right now what Republican will end up getting the nomination.
As it goes now, discounting Bush the Former’s performance, Bush the Latter’s actions in just two things have forever forsworn me to NEVER vote for a Bush for anything.
Those two things are: DHS and TSA.
