I believe he is also a very successful Governor of a large state. But, hey, let's not get in the way of liberal editorializing in what is, supposedly, a news story.
Doesn’t that “failed candidate” stuff gall you? Do they refer to AlGore that way? Do we hear “John Kerry, failed candidate and Secretary of State”?
How successful could he be? He failed to get the "Trans Texas Corridor" built, after he already promised the job to France.
If you don't know what the TTC was, look it up and report back how conservative that was.
