Thanks for Coming, Tommy
In Dallas yesterday, George W. Bush and Rick Perry talked up the war on terra’ like crazy. "Stick with us and the country will be better off!" Bush told the whoopin' crowd. Who knew that the governor’s campaign finale would turn into a love fest for war? Sort of gives you an idea of what the next four years will be like if voters re-elect the wannabe vice presidential nominee. The latest polls show Perry with an even clearer (and clearly depressing) lead over Democrat Chris Bell. "You go out and work your heart out tomorra' and I'll be your governor for four more years," Perry warned. Meanwhile, Bush's former staffers, Scott and Mark McClellan spent the day stumping for Perry's opponent, their independent mama, Carole Keeton Strayhorn. Bell and Friedman also made last-minute pitches around the state.
An interesting aside: In introducing state GOP officeholders at the Perry pep rally, Bush offered some kind words about each official, except for one – House Speaker Tom Craddick. This is all he got: “Speaker of the House Tommy Craddick ... thanks for coming, Tommy.”
