I don't know that Bush would have helped in Texas. He lost two statewide races there.

Rockefeller was Nixon's choice, but he would not be confirmed by congress because they knew he would end up becoming President when Nixon resigned.

In fact, Nixon suggested to Ford that he appoint Rockefeller on August 8 when he informed him of his decision to resign.

George Bush and Nelson Rockefeller were the only two Ford considered appointing to replace himself as Vice-President.
