He didn't even top the list in his own family. Jeb was the golden boy who would make the presidential run, not the other son.

So George W. Bush, Governor of Texas, who had upset Ann Richards, was a political nobody while Jeb Bush, private citizen, close loser to Lawton Chiles, was a presidential contender?

Yep, but in 1994, Dubya upset Ann Richards while Jeb narrowly lost to Lawton Chiles by 64,000 votes. Had either one of those races gone the other way, there's a decent chance Jeb would be President right now.
