I love Greg Abbott. I had the great pleasure of having him as the speaker of my private school graduation back in high school. To this day, the school still says he was the best speaker we have ever had. Spending the day with him was a real treat. If you go into his office, there is a wooden box and the top is inlaid with different types of wood to look like the Texas flag. One of the guys in my graduating class made it for him and as far as I know, he still has it in his office. A friend at the school got Greg to give the graduation speech by asking him how he liked free speech. When Greg said he was all for free speech, Tim asking him, "Well how about coming up here to give one?" All the families of the graduating class made a generous contribution to his campaign fund - more than the cost of the trip and speech.

I wish we could clone Greg so he can be the attorney general and run for governor. I know when Perry put in his bid for president, there was rumors that Abbott was eyeing the governor's seat. I wouldn't mind having him for governor, but at the same time, I would worry that the attorney general's seat would have some mighty big shoes to fill. As of two days ago, Abbott's campaign fund leads over Perry's.
