Oh, and I live in Texas.
I would have included it if were relevant to the subject at hand, which was the population/wealth of a state as it applies to the responsibilities of the state executive. It wouldn't matter if the GSP per capita was 10 times that of Texas, as it would still result in a budgetary responsibility 1/3 the size of that on the desk of the Texas governor. GW was infinitely more experienced as an executive compared to Palin, and per capita breakdowns won't change that.
