This is very confusing

I was recently informed of the borderline retarded status of George Bush as well as what a failure he was in the business world prior to becoming the President.  Can someone please help me understand how you get elected as Texas Governor, and then get re-elected by an overwhelming majority as Texas Governor again and then,  following that, you become the President and get re-elected to that office as well?  Am I missing something or does that suggest that the aforementioned individual has some intellect?  If not, I guess it means the majority of people in Texas and subsequently, in the United States judged him to be competent.  That is, of course,unless those type of results only apply when someone from the left is elected?  If my inquiry is overwhelmingly comical, just count me in as being as stupid as W, but, for the sake of compassion, provide an explanation.

He started off by beating a sitting Governor.   Impressive!

How does such a "failed" individual accomplish that?

Maybe one day the posters that make these claims will be as "enlightened" as they think they are...but I doubt it.
