Ah, but how active will you be in campaigning for Perry? I'll be out working the doors and phones. The silly claims the Pro-Perry crowd is making are a great motivator.
I believe that someone can change parties and embrace a new philosophy. I did - changing from a born (union home when I was a kid) Democrat to a hardline Republican.
Perry never had my support. He fell into the governor's office when W won the presidency.
You're the only human being I know who has said he would vote for Strayhorn. Her problem is that she is annoying. Her shrill voice DOES remind Texas Republicans of Ann Richards. She's now holding fundraisers with Ben Barnes, who was involved in the Rathergate fiasco last year, and is one of the most corrupt Democrat politicians to ever hold office in this state.
All Perry has to do is show her with a guy who tried to do W. in in 2004, and the other Democrats she's enlisting in her campaign, and she'll be toast on primary day.
Work all you want. I think her running for Governor is great because she'll get trounced and lose her current position. Goodbye Carol.
