Bush Bruised Diving To Avoid Truck
By MICHAEL HOLMES Associated Press Writer
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- Texas Gov. George W. Bush sustained minor bruises to his leg and hip today when he dived to avoid a tractor-trailer truck that overturned near his jogging path.
``Governor Bush was treated at the scene and returned home and is traveling to New Hampshire this afternoon,'' said Linda Edwards, Bush's press secretary.
Bush, the Republican presidential front-runner, was jogging on the hike-and-bike trail around downtown Austin's Town Lake when the truck overturned on a street alongside the path. He ``dove to avoid being hit by the oncoming tractor-trailer truck,'' Ms. Edwards said.
Roscoe Hughey, a Texas Department of Public Safety agent who was trailing Bush on bicycle, was hospitalized after being hit by debris that flew from the vehicle, Ms. Edwards said.
Bush also was hit by some of the debris when the truck overturned, according to Austin Police Department spokeswoman Sally Muir. She said authorities weren't immediately certain what the material was.
``Governor Bush is in good condition and good spirits and hopes that Agent Hughey has not sustained any serious injuries,'' Ms. Edwards said.
Police were called about 12:06 p.m. CST.
``We're not clear what made it lose control, but the truck was out of control,'' Ms. Edwards said.
Bush left Austin later today for a campaign swing through New Hampshire, said campaign spokesman Scott McClellan. The governor was scheduled to have breakfast with voters in Dixville Notch, N.H. on Tuesday morning. Bush campaign spokesman Mindy Tucker said there was no reason to suspect that the driver intended to hit the governor. She said the Texas state police was investigating. ``There are a lot of details I don't have at this point,'' she said.

She is not going to lose 49 states. She already has several states locked up, some big ones too. New York, California, Massachusetts, Hawaii, Connecitcut, New Jersey, Rhode Island, etc.
She will also likely win those states with high unemployment, Michigan, Washington, Pennsylvania, etc.
Bush has a very weak foreign policy record, all nations of the world against us, an endless war, our borders are not safe and secure, our dollar is weak, huge federal deficits, huge balance of trade deficits, high unemployment, loss of high tech, loss of our industrial base, bush is for gun control and wanted to extend the assault weapons ban, increasing government intrusion into our private affairs with the homeland bill, etc.
I really cant think of anything bush can run on to show that things are better now than before he took office.
