Its too poorly written and researched to discus rationally.

“Lovely Hamlets of New Hampshire that is Texas?”

And no explanation for people in other states that in Texas the Governor and The Lieutenant Governor share power and run on separate tickets. In some areas the Lieutenant Governor has more power.

I would say an article in a national news outlet that leaves that out is drivel. It is something people would need to know.

Getting lost, however, among the governor's adventures in the lovely hamlets of New Hampshire is that Texas, with or without him, has a story the rest of the U.S. should hear—the parts of the country that want a better economy than they've got now.

what is your point in not posting the entire sentence?

By the way, you do know Rick Perry was the Lt. Governor too and the 1st Republican Lt. Governor ever elected in Texas. Thanks for also pointing out that Perry did not run on the same ticket as GWB but ran separately. In fact GWB had a Democrat Lt. Governor named Bob Bullock when GWB first became Governor. Perry became Lt Governor later.
