Why did the Northeastern United States not want the Bush Family?
Q. Think about it they went to Yale University but Bush 41 has his library in Texas, they are all from the Northeast except for Laura. They have houses in Maine. Did they end up in Texas because noone knew much about them down here and Texas is a big state which carries lots of votes?
