He lost the seat in a close and contested race in 2002, but polls in 2003 showed that he had a good chance of recapturing the governorship.

I had preached at the church before and knew the pastor, who told me how puzzled he was that his quite "progressive" church was chosen for the meeting. Inside the classroom, 25 of us were seated in chairs, chatting and not knowing what to expect, when Bush walked in without any great introduction.
