Job creation during Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst's tenure is the emphasis of a web video, featuring a Texas-shaped cake, that was released Monday by his re-election campaign. “If Texas was a cake, and one candle represented 10,000 new private-sector jobs, it would look like this,” says the spot's narrator as a candle-covered cake is shown. "We got a great state, we've got a great lieutenant governor. Let's keep the candles lit."
