Burka Blog

I think this article from the Burka Blog from Texas Monthly is a well written article about how George P. Bush, running for Land Commissioner is throwing it away by running a bad campaign.  Newspapers were assuming he would be elected to office in this upcoming election, but due to his “dilly dallying” and not talking to the press, hopes for him getting elected are looking grim.  People seem to be surprised that isn’t really doing very well.  In fact, the Austin American Statesman has endorsed his candidate because of his active campaigning.  The Nephew of former president George W. Bush doesn’t seem to have anything except the Bush name.  What little campaigning he has done, he only had a short speech and didn’t let the media ask questions.  This is a good article because it states an opinion, and gives a quote about the article.  It is well written and I think proves its point well.  It brings up a question for me.  Does George P. Bush actually want to be a politician, or is he only doing it because it’s the “family business” as it were.  I think maybe he doesn’t want to be a politician.
