When the mayor is the mayor of NYC I disagree with you. He's got more people, budget, international affairs than probably 2/3's of the states and many,many countries.
You can belittle texas governorship but I disagree there as well. He may not be the executor, but he's responsible for the big stuff. You actually may be correct about how much administration he does, I'd have to look it up, but I think you are belittle'ing the job.
But whichever, comparing the governor of texas to someone running a staff of pages and political operatives (ala a senator) I think is not a winning argument.
