I suppose not directly, but he still has a say over the American people in general, and those fom his home state of Texas overall are supporters of everything that comes out of his mouth.

Not direct, but he can open his face and get the support from a majority of Texans.

I wasn't old enough to vote for Clinton, to be honest. If I were, I probably would have gone green. If I did vote for Clinton, though, yes I would have taken a little bad so long as there was much more good. If that's the way you see Bush, then I guess that's up to you.
Notice I always say 'majority' or 'overall'. I'm not stupid enough to think that all Texans support Bush or all Texans are against homosexuality or gay marriage.
