Political analysts are fairly certain that there will be no Texans in the presidential running for '08. This would make it the first time in 36 years (since 1972) that there hasn't been a Texan making a bid for that office.
It's still possible that there may be one in the running for VP though.

What did Bush Senior have to do with Texas? He lives in Massachusetts now, I believe, and unless I'm mistaken never participated in Texas politics at any level.
And I too would like some cited states to back up your incoherent ranting.
Although part of me wonders why I even care.
