That was a weird election. I remember they had one debate between all four candidates. It was broadcast at 8pm on a Friday night and one of the questions was "what year was the Battle of the Alamo fought"? Texas is a great country.

I would've supported Bell, but Perry was pretty hilarious during the 2012 debates, so he would've been missed.

Also, this electio would have been very interesting under IRV.

People voting for Kinky Friedman clearly didn't follow that race.

Kinky Friedman holds a special place in my heart as the only politician to ever insult me to my face.  EDIT: I forgot, Barney Frank came pretty close to doing that as well.

Chris Bell, obviously.

Bell (sane non-Texan)

But the "dewussification of America" line will go down as a gem.
