The Bush boy will run for Land Commissioner and win.
Todd Staples, Ag Commissioner, will run for governor and win. I know Todd Staples and he has a political campaign group second to none and I mean that. He hasn’t lost a race and never will.
He will make a fine Governor. Even if I didn’t like him, he would still win. I helped him with my county when he was running for our state senator and I saw how he wins an election. I don’t think anyone will have a better run campaign. Add to that, he speaks well, is nice looking, has a lovely wife and family. He is a true Texan with a backbone and won’t back down on the issues.
I think this is the time for him to make his move. It’s possible he could run for Lt. Governor, but that would be a waste of time. I haven’t spoken to him so I know nothing. I just know if he runs, the others might as well hang it up now. That is how sure of his strength I am.
Besides, he looks great on a horse so it’s a done deal.
Thanks, Marcella. That’s good to hear. I’m ready for old Rick to hang it up and ride off into the sunset, so it’s nice to know there’s a good guy ready to saddle up.
Metaphor overload.
I had Staples on my short list for Lt. Governor. If he wants Governor instead, maybe he has national aspirations, who knows?
If he runs for the position, I'll pay attention, as long as it doesn't distract me from Lt. Gov and Speaker.

Staples is running in 2014 for the office of Lieutenant Governor of Texas, with baseball great Nolan Ryan as his campaign chairman.
“... he looks great on a horse...”
Yep. Got’ta keep priorities straight.
