What is with this strange woman? Is she really just a democRAT in disguise? If so, it's a pretty poor disguise.

Are Democrats contributing to Strayhorn on order to cause Perry trouble?
And does anyone know if Mark Sandres (her spokesman) was the same MS who served on the SREC in the 80s?

The Democrats are lining up behind Carole Rylander Keeton Strayhorn. Will she switch parties or stick to her primary challenge, or team up with Kay Bailey Hutchison?

Arrggg. I hope all this infighting doesn't lead to the Dems taking the Texas Governor's mansion. I know it's a longshot, but still...
I still don't get why Perry doesn't just let the Comptroller and Huchison battle it out for the Governor's seat, and just run for Huchison's Senate seat.

I think you got the names out of order, and I know you left out at least one.
Carole Keeton McClellan Rylander Strayhorn.

This is all we need to know about "Republican" Strayhorn.
"Strayhorn received $50,000 from Walter Umphrey of Beaumont and $50,000 from John Eddie Williams of Houston. They were two of five plaintiffs' lawyers, hired by former Attorney General Dan Morales, who shared $3.3 billion in legal fees from Texas' multibillion-dollar settlement with the tobacco industry in 1998. Normally, they give to Democratic candidates.
Former Lt. Gov. Ben Barnes, a Democrat, gave Strayhorn $17,500."

Will she switch parties or stick to her primary challengeShe'll do whatever the polling indicates. If she thinks she can beat Perry in the primary, she'll stay a nominal Republican, but she's been talking like a liberal Democrat for the past couple of years.
Like many Texas Republicans, Strayhorn didn't convert to the Republican Party until the party became competitive in Texas. But she's still a Rat at heart.

Apparently they still do.... When you see the trial lawyer money coming forward to a supposedly republican it's an indication of stirring the pot among the republican party... Rest assured they'll cough up the dollars for whomever is running as the democrat nominee in the general and not the republican whomever that maybe.

Depends, whe's done a solid job of keeping our budget balanced. But I've heard she favors a state income tax.

Dog Gone, while no expert on Strayhorn I do not remember her being a dim. She was a somewhat conservative Mayor of Austin (well conservative for that town) and a school board member before that. Neither position carries a party label and in her first elected state position she was a Republican.

That's also true of Perry.
To: Theodore R.
Right now, Kaye Bailey or Cornyn would beat either of them. I don't think Perry has been a good governor, and Carole Keeton McLellan Strayhorn is a nice enough lady, but she is way more liberal than I am comfortable with.
Hoping for a better candidate, but few wish to challenge a sitting governor, and in Texas, statewide recognition is pretty much impossible without holding a statewide office.
