Say what you will about whether he was once a Democrat...but I’m unaware of any general election he has lost once he was the party’s nominee.
Yep, as I noted above, Texas is an ultra safe, one-party Republican state. No Republican loses a statewide office once they're the Republican nominee. George P. Bush won easily for land commissioner too, and will win any other statewide office he's nominated for, as long as he has an "R" next to his name. yawn...
Same thing was said about McCain right up to 2008.
