Special Report: George W. Bush's political experience in triumph and disaster

WASHINGTON (AllPolitics, June 2) -- Texas Gov. George W. Bush has raised a reported $13 million, topping the field of Republican presidential hopefuls.

But as his opponents are quick to note, Bush is untested as a national candidate. Yet, besides money, Bush has some major advantages as he prepares to head out into the country on his first substantial campaign trip -- stellar poll numbers, great name recognition, and the experience of two presidential campaigns under his belt.

In 1988 during his father's first presidential effort, Bush found out what it takes to win the White House -- perseverance, good strategy, and a killer instinct.

Bush takes issue with some of the reporting on his role in 1992. Through his spokeswoman, he denies playing any part in the attempt to drop Dan Quayle from the ticket.

Contrary to reports that he wanted Quayle out, Bush says he simply was not involved. As for his role in the dismissal of Chief of Staff John Sununu, Bush says his conversation with Sununu was and will remain private.
