Bush smiled and leaned forward. "Let me tell y'all something," he drawled. "I love my wife. And I love my daughters. I would lie down and die for 'em. But they don't have a veto on this." Then he became even more blunt, handicapping his opponents for the Republican nomination, counting the ways in which he was stronger. Dan Quayle, he predicted, won't be able to raise enough money to compete. Neither would Elizabeth Dole, whose candidacy Bush called a relief because she drew some of the heat away from him.
