| Description | Texas Gov. George W. Bush blew through town in a hurry last Friday afternoon, but not before managing to break the record for the single most successful political fund-raiser in the state's history.
Bush raced through his paces for Mississippi's GOP elite at a $1,000-a-plate luncheon for Republican gubernatorial candidate Mike Parker, then held a seven-minute press conference before bolting out of the Crown Plaza Hotel and heading off to Florida.
Afterward, the Parker campaign said it raised approximately $300,000 at the event. In 1995, it took former President George Bush a day-long series of four events to raise $500,000 on behalf of Gov. Kirk Fordice's reelection campaign. |
