1994 in particular because he was running against an incumbent who was very popular and widely liked and respected even after she lost. Bush really was masterful then.

He also won by a very large margin given that he was a non-incumbent against a non scandalized incumbent. Especially in what was a Democratic state at the time; the GOP made massive gains in the legislature during his 6 year tenure.

Incumbent governors rarely lose by 8%. The vast bulk are re-elected.

I know. As I said the fact that Richards was a popular incumbent is what makes this impressive. Bush was a popular incumbent in 1998 so the only thing that's really impressive there is the sheer scale of his victory.
