Texas political writer Dave McNeely recounts that each Bush in the modern era failed in their first bid for public office. George P. Bush, 38, runs for Texas land commissioner as a Republican in a solidly Republican state, against John Cook, Justin Knight and Valerie Alessi. The piece traces the family pattern from Prescott to George W. and Jeb, noting prior first losses and subsequent comebacks and the likelihood of the current bid ending in a first-term win or loss.
