Texas has a lot of electrical votes. [During an election campaign, after George Bush stated that Texas was important to the election]

Can we pray for the re-election of George Bush?

George Bush doesn't get to pick our nominee, and he doesn't get to decide what this election is about, ... This president is so bankrupt of ideas that he can't even wait until the Democrats pick a nominee before he starts drudging up the past and slinging mud.

To my mind the election was stolen by George Bush and we have been suffering ever since under this man's leadership.

Next time I tell you someone from Texas should not be president of the United States, please pay attention."

I think Microsoft would like to wait until after the election, and maybe if George W. Bush wins, they could get treated better by a Bush Justice Department. I think they're delusional if they think that's going to get them out of their problem, but I wouldn't be surprised if that's in the backs of their minds.
