Thanks a lot, Republican primary voters. Now, he's going to come back and play governor in Texas for another year. Why couldn't you keep him occupied on the campaign trail until his term ran out (or almost...then he could pull a Sarah Palin and resign before the end of his term). You have no sympathy for the people of Texas.
P.S. Sparrow Hawk, the gaffes that plagued him are the result of not having a clue as to what he is talking about. If he gets beyond "evil communist Democrat", or "we need to cut taxes for the wealthy", he gets confused. He still hasn't explained to any school district in Texas how they are going to implement the new school funding act which requires that they layoff no one, fire no one, or increase class sizes even though he led the effort to reduce school funding by $4 billion in order to balance the state budget. All he crows about is that they didn't raise taxes.
