Republicans nominated George W. Bush because they knew that, like Shakespeare, he would revolutionize the English language! Just look at what he has accomplished for our language during his reign! (Consider each improvement a reason and you'll have more than 9)

Nine reasons? That might be hard.
1. No agenda of his own, no opinions or expertise. Unable to formulate his own policy or even intelligent opinions. He would be totally in the hands of an unelected cabal.
2, No real experience in an executive capacity. Never earned an honest buck in his life. Spent 1 term as a figurehead governor in the weakest of weak-governor states. So no past positions or votes that could come back to haunt him. Young-looking. A fresh face.
3. Good name recognition. Same name as a past president!
4. Network of dad's rich, influential friends had been supporting him all his life, now could raise sufficient millions to make him 'presumptive candidate' right out of the starting gate. Dad's influence could gloss over illegal contributions from corporations, foreign governments, non-existent 'individuals'.
5. 'Born again' backstory. Republican presidential candidates have to pretend to be religious. But no more than pretend. Also covers previous history of highly irresponsible alcohol and drug use.
6. Able to exploit already-existing network of corrupt religious leaders telling their flocks that Bush was God's choice, that voting for him was their religious duty.
7. Cowboy persona, fake Texas accent, pretended not to be able to pronounce 3-syllable words. Fit the strong anti-intellectual mold of rank-and-file GOP. Basically the message was: "Elect me 'cos I'm completely ignorant. Just like you !" Allowed Repubs to paint Dem. candidates as 'too smart, therefore not trustworthy'.
8. Inherited GOP personal-destruction machine, so he was able to ride above the slime of his party infrastructure.
9. Reagan and his dad had packed the Supreme Court with fake 'conservatives' who pretended to favor states' rights and oppose 'political activism' but really wanted to participate in a coup.
Well, okay, no. 9 is not why he was nominated. There are 8 good ones there, though.

1. Bush speaks their language.
2. He sent them a $300 rebate in August, the year he took office.
3. Tax cuts (I'm sure they would rank this first).
4. He didn't let the kids down, but continued reading "My Pet Goat" to the end.
5. He really HAS tried to Jesify the country.
6. He has led a Crusade for them in the Middle East.
7. He has made war on the middle class.
8. He has made war on the lower class.
9. He sticks by his buddies, even when they lie, cheat, and steal.

1. Press and Media Appeal in 1998.
2. He could easily defeat Al Gore (in 1998 polling.)
3. He was Governor of one of the largest states in the Union.
4. His dad was a former POTUS and Regan's former VP. The GOP has a nostalgia for Regan and it was ill-believed he would follow in Regan's footsteps.
5. Daughters hotter than Chelsea. (Although having seen Chelsea in the flesh I have to say she is pretty good looking.)
6. Potential 1st Canine (now deceased) was born in the White House.
7. Oil Money
8. Banking & Financial Ties.
9. Skull & Bones.
There's 9. By the way...I'm a conservative.
