Just lay back and enjoy it, Claytie.

If not for that gaffe, he probably would have won the election, which means he would have been an incumbent in 1994 and there's no way W would have run against a sitting GOP governor.

1990 results:

Nominee Ann Richards Clayton Williams  

 

   
Popular vote 1,925,670 1,826,431

Percentage

49.5%

46.9%

That's a good point.  W. gets the "call" to run in 1998 and that point in Texas switch the solid red, wins reelection in 2002.  he then runs against incumbent POTUS, Al Gore, in 2004.  September 11th was going to happen regardless, but the economy would have been a big question mark.  Or a 2008 George W. v. Hillary Clinton would have been quite likely as well.
