Then explain why he's used his veto power more than any other governor except one?
I don’t know, how bout ‘splainin it to us.
Veto is far different than being able to initiate or sculpture Bills before the Legislature or pick and choose Legislative Leadership. Compared to most states, Texas Gov is much less in total control.
Regardless, how does this affect Perry’s chances? I say because the Texas Governors have to “work with” the legislature rather than dictating, would make for a better President.
