You are correct Sir. They were not friends, even then. but there is someone else in Texas Politics that holds a great amount of power also. The LT. Gov decides what Legislation is Ramroded through, but and I may be mistaken, The Speaker of the House gets to decide what Legislation gets voted on. Please correct me if I'm wrong. The Gov of Texas, by our Constitution is basically just a figure head. They have powers in a special session of our Legislature which only meets every 2 years, but again it's the Lt Gov and the Speaker. A Great TX Gov like GWB and Perry know how to pull the strings and make it all work. Perry is a GREAT Gov (considering the choices we had KBH, Bill White) as was GWB, but it doesn't require a leap of faith to believe they could make a great President.

Chris Bell should challenge Barack for the Democrat nomination. He lost races for Houston Mayor, House of Reps., Governor. He should put in onward and upward to prove the Peter Principle.

Chris Bell will forever be a footnote in the anus of history for launching the “ethics” probe against Tom DeLay as a lame duck congressman when he found himself voted out of office because redistricting permitted a BLACK democrat to take his seat. What a racist putz rat. Just the Democrat the challenge Obama.
