Bush questioned the timing of the story, just five days before the election, and said he hasn’t gone public before because he didn’t want his daughters to make the same mistake.

And that is a big state,” Perot told King. “He has done an outstanding job as governor and was re-elected, and rarely is the same governor re-elected in Texas More : edition.cnn.com |
